[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PS3 is part of DC's implementation of HeadStart and a method to bring parents in the door to under attended DCPS schools.  PS3 for WOTP is a poor policy choice.[/quote]

But I thought we were "One City"?  Shouldn't all people have access to the same opportunities?[/quote]

You do have the same access/opportunities/chances.  What is so hard to understand about that, OP?[/quote]

So in your world, having access to PS3 at your close bye neighborhood school is equivalent to a Ward 3 parent having to get their 3 year old up at 6am and taking a 45 minute bus/metro ride to a PS3 program on  the other side the park?  Really, that's the "same" access?[/quote]

+1. What some PPs don't seem to recognize is that Ward 3 residents are actively being discriminated against by the combination of a) essentially no PS3 in their schools, b) the proximity preference in favor of other Wards (where PS3 slots are) that make it very difficult if not impossible for Ward 3 kids to access public PS3. It is clear that Ward 3 kids DOES NOT have the same access/ opportunities to PS3 as other Wards.

Now, this is obviously not the end of the world, but it is a reality.[/quote]

Boo freaking waaaah.

Kids in Wards 1, 4, & 5 have no access to stand alone middle schools. And plenty of kids in Wards 1, 4, and 5 *do* commute all over the city for better educational opportunities.[/quote]

Great point!  I have no middle school here in Ward 4, the distance I have to travel is about the same you would have to travel to Reed it Shepherd Park elementary.[/quote]
