[quote=Anonymous]Another problem with the naive analogy above is that Stuart-Hobson, as part of a school cluster model long past its prime, has purposefully branded itself as serving a select few, namely the Capitol Hill Cluster School. Of course the reality is different but the advocating constituents are part of that very narrow base of insiders. So it's really hard for everyone else in Ward 6 (and that's most of us waiting for a decent middle school option) to be told for years "that's our school" and "why would anyone else have a say in it but us". And now all of a sudden it should be in everybody's interest to invest in it, quite likely even at the expense of our own future. We can all talk that talk ("sure, why can't there be both, live and let live"), including our Council Member, but you don't need to do more than one step behind the scenes and the reality is different.
The saddest part is that no one will have the political courage to provide some sort of leadership that goes beyond promising everybody everything and doing nothing in the process![/quote]
