[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are daily Metrorail commuters and so is DC.  Safety is not a concern, [b]especially since we're not afraid of public school students.[/b] Plus DC is not traveling at peak youth travel times that might increase the chances of petty beefs. A Wilson student was stabbed today after driving to school.  It would be absurd to worry about driving as a result or to fear Cleveland Park and Tenleytown as hotbeds of crime. [/quote]

Whoa!  What does that mean?[/quote]

It means what it says.  I am not the OP, but the city is doing the public a tremendous disservice by not prosecuting the thugs that attacked the guy on the Metro a few months ago.  I don't think it is a coincidence that they are Wilson students and there has been an apparent spike in violent crime in the vicinity of Wilson and the Tenleytown neighborhood.[/quote]

If the crime took place in Gallery place and they are Wilson students, does that mean they don't live in Wilson's boundary? [b]Can they be kicked out of school and forced to attend their local high school?[/b][/quote]

Of course they can, and of course they should.

Now, what do you think it's more important for Bowser and Kaya: to get votes outside Wilson's boundary, or to educate kids who live in Wilson's boundary?

You know the answer to that question and it make sense right? kids who live in Wilson boundary usually won't have a problem with education because Wilson isn't the best option.[/quote]

57% of current Wilson students live in the Wilson boundary.[/quote]
