[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not Weedon that failed, it's DCPS. Article fails to mention that he worked for a non-profit focused on Eastern before running for school board. He told everyone his plan was to have his daughter attend Eastern. You could not find anyone more dedicated to the cause. [/quote]

And yet ...

He is being dragged because he was so sure of what was right for everyone else, judged everyone else and now he realizes there isn’t a simple answer. It was arrogant then and he would be far more sympathetic if he said maybe I was wrong and there isn’t one answer that is right for all. [/quote]

I like Joe a lot and was saddened when he lost his seat. But I think that a lot of the rah-rah spirit of that cohort from Maury going to Eliot-Hime wasn’t going to last. I just wish he and Amy hadn’t been so openly disappointed when older kids from the Hill chose Walls and Ellington, or god forbid, private. [/quote]

I think it also matters that at the highschool age, kids have an opinion on where they go, regardless of their parents wanting to put them in the neighborhood school. [/quote]
