[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 10 year old 6th grader? I guess possible but certainly not the norm. Most kids in DCPS turn from 10 to 11 in their 5th grade year. [/quote]

Maybe they just live far away?  Why is this the point of this thread?  Who cares if people drive their kids to school?[/quote]

I care but then we are trying to do our part so our kids have a livable planet - it was a hike but my kid walked to Deal all 3 years he attended.  But I didn't buy an affordable rowhouse in Petworth and find a backdoor way to get into Deal so I could avoid my kids going to school in their own neighborhood with my black and brown neighbors.[/quote]

We're IB for Deal, but I certainly don't begrudge anyone driving their OOB kid to Deal if that's what's best for the student. You're just bitter that someone got into Deal without shelling out $$$ to live IB, and you're hiding behind "But, but, the environment?!?!?!"

Maybe you shouldn't have bought in a district that has a lottery for OOB kids.[/quote]
