[quote=Anonymous][i]Different poster, but I really don't give a damn about "neighborhood schools." In a city with the residential segregation of the district (both racial and economic), I just don't think they make sense.[/i] You clearly don't live in the highly diverse L-T District, and don't have little children. Public response to Deputy Mayor for Education Abigail Smith's recent boundary and feeder proposals tells us that the great majorty of DC parents do in fact do give a damn about neighborhood schools. Murial Bowser can't rest easy before November mainly because they do. What doesn't make sense is DCPS pretending that supposedly high-achieving "neighborhood" schools like Watkins, JO Wilson and L-T serve their neighborhoods. DC needs to chose its school feeder model. If it wants to scrap neighborhood schools, like Boston and San Fran essentially did long ago, OK, get on with it. If it wants to build strong neighborhood schools, OK, do that instead. [/quote]
