[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jefferson is serving only about 80 kids living in the catchment boundary.  Brent is never going to send scores of kids to Jefferson by virtue of its size alone and the same will be true of Van Ness.  So what is the rationale for keeping the school open when it's only half filled and badly in need of modernization?  DCPS is incapable of seeing the forest for the trees, otherwise Eliot-Hine would have been modernized before Watkins to provide a suitable swing space.  Maybe some Hill parents can coalesce around a plan to excess Jefferson so that Basis or another charter can have a proper middle/high school campus.  After all, Henderson should be made to choke on her pronouncement that DCPS doesn't do middle school very well.  In the absence of the NCLB waiver Jefferson would be just another of many failing schools in our city.[/quote]

So where are all of these kids from VN and Brent going to go to Middle school?[/quote]

See if you can get in touch with Adrian Fenty and ask why he surplused Hine.  [/quote]

So the answer to three deficient MS on the Hill is a fourth deficient MS?  Hine was failing even when a much lower bar for failure existed at DCPS[/quote]

Logic isn't your strength, is it?  Hine was located on major bus line and above the EM metro station. [/quote]

Not the PP to whom you're responding.

You are suggesting that the "strong logic" for a fourth under-enrolled, under-utilized, and low-performing MS in Ward 6 is that it's convenient to metro, and then criticizing someone else.

Marijuana hasn't been legalized sweetie.  [/quote]

Decriminalization is effectively legalization, sweetie.

While I personally don't give a damn either way how high you choose to get, it's stupid beyond compare to think we should all fall in with your bong-dream that a fourth under-subscribed and undesirable MS on the Hill is the escape from this quagmire.[/quote]
