[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The council gave Shaw to Banneker. [snip] ..let's figure out what to do with Shaw middle schoolers and how to find THEM a great experience too.

How exactly did they "earn" it? Have Cardozo kids done something wrong and failed to "earn" an adequate school?[/quote]

You are conflating a physical building with an experience — and hoping readers won't notice.

Try harder.[/quote]

Tell me again why Banneker students are more deserving than Cardozo/Shaw students.  There are no test in options for middle school.[/quote]

I'm not going to get into the straw man argument about "more deserving" but I will say that Banneker needs better space for a highly successful program that attracts many low-income kids, most of whom have been the first in their families to go on to pursue four year college. It's an exemplar, and building it out with better facilities and expansion is of the highest priority. More so than building a MS where there is one already, and that one is under-enrolled. The build it and they will come argument about Shaw MS is a lacuna.[/quote]
