Ah, but PP said the 100 with the worst attendance and disciplinary records that are ALSO out of bounds students. That's gonna sweep up a majority Black/Latinx group. At any rate, it is dumb and racist idea and will never be implemented. [/quote]

OK - for all kids who are OOB at any school (even originally IB and move OOB and stay at the school), enforce if they have more than X tardy days they need to go to their neighborhood school.   (what ever the established policy is that is not enforced) .   Tardy students are disruptive to the classroom.  [b]I frequently see students coming off of Tenleytown metro at 8:40 with no sense of urgency to get to school[/b].

Ummm.... the metro exit is less than 400 meters from the school doors and first period starts at 8:55.  With the lines at the door to go through the metal detector, hurrying to stand in line longer doesn't make much sense.  Kids EXITING the metro at 8:40 could pretty much crawl to school and be there on time.   My kid always walks out of the metro (which he takes from Woodley --- many, many, many inbound students metro) after 8:40 and gets to class on time.

But please --- continue dreaming up policies to make the school better by kicking out poor kids and disrupting their lives because you seem to know so much.   :roll: [/quote]
