[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Foxhall ES and the MacArthur HS are not gift horses in mouths. They are an illconceived $100M boondoggle that will balkanize the students of the west side of town into their own quasi-private school funded by DC taxpayers.

Horrible planning an potential execution.

Do you really think that adding "Period." to the end of your screed will make them more authoritative? I can't quite tell whether you are an FCCA operative or one of those people who think that giving students across the city a better chance of attending good schools is a bad thing. In any case, you defy common sense. Both schools - if they are built to the sizes that are proposed (not what Frumin wants) - will do the exact opposite of what are you claiming they will do.[/quote]

No, it would be a great thing but the reality is that kids won't be able to reliably get to this school on a timely basis daily via public transportation. It is an unviable location unless you live in Foxhall or Palisades. As a result, it will be a majority white, majority affluent enclave facility.[/quote]
