[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right, and the Capitol Hill Cluster School also has-has?—a special Metrobus transporting students among the Peabody—Watkins —Stuart Hobson campuses. See a trend?[/quote]

yes, Rich people get more than poor people. Please file that under the no shit category. That is why the ghetto kids are supposed to work hard and get rich so their kids do not have to put up with the BS they did. That is what people did for thousands of years until the entitlement class that has foolishly come to expect parity from a system that actually exacerbates and needs inequity.

Capitalism is a meritocracy, the part people forget is merit is multi-generational and accumulative and disproportionately based on positioning and only factoring facilities from those in the proper position. The race doesn't start even every generation and nobody would accept a system that doesn't  the privileged to pass along that to their children.

Cap Hill is surrounded by poor people, this whole conversation is about the parents being uncomfortable with the reality that at some point they are going to have to send their kids to schools with more kids not like them than like them. They don't quite (or don't want to) realize that middle schools pull from multiple neighborhoods and can't be flipped by one group like they did with a few elementary schools. Those parents are getting to the point where the reality of the geographic locality that they love is slandered by the reality of SES isolation. They can no more build a wall from shifting demographics than the center of the country can. Even if the intent of the migration are polar opposites

News flash, the only middle school that will work for Cap Hill would consist of a mix of students that isn't really supported by the regions demographics. OOB applications, privates and moving will remain the majority of paths taken until the city gentrifies to a point when [b]they can gerrymander a middle[/b] that looks more Ward 3 like than they would admit is their intent.

The only gerrymandering going on is by DCPS at Stuart Hobson . . . where they gerrymandered the geographic boundary to keep out IB high SES kids who live less than a mile from the school.[/quote]
