[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The burden is on us? Why? We pay taxes, we vote, and nobody in Ward 6 accrues the benefit of DCPS running several weak middle schools. We can vote Charles Allen out if the Ward 6 MS and HS cluster *@#$ situation doesn't change, and Joe Weedon, too. [/quote] Allen and Weedon don't have any real power over DCPS so you can vote them out but it won't change anything. More important, not everyone in Ward 6 agrees on the problem, much less the solution, and the lack of consensus ensures the status quo. It is easier to 'flip' schools in Wards 2 and 3 (e.g. Wilson feeders) than on the Hill because the housing stock is more uniform. The "Hill" as broadly defined by real estate brokers is just too mixed -- expensive homes with higher SES families in close proximity to less affluent to poor families. [/quote]
