[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cackling with a little smug satisfaction here. My Adams Morgan neighborhood lost access to Deal about 10 years ago. I sat in on several community listening sessions filled mostly with Bancroft parents and soon-to-be Bancroft parents who were totally fine with sacrificing our kids, since they were so confident their kids were safe.

My own family no longer needs DCPS, but the school boundary change transformed Kalorama Triangle. We have a lot more doggy parents and fewer human parents. The housing stock is different in Mount Pleasant, so I don't know if the change will be as dramatic for you. But it couldn't happen to nicer folks.

Also, the Shepherd and Lafayette parents, a hard rain is going to fall. [/quote]

The mayor would never allow Shepherd to be moved out of Deal.

You seem like a lovely person (!) but terribly naive. [/quote]

This. 10 years ago Bowser protected her peeps in the Shepard boundary. Never mind that Kalorama Triangle and Woodley Park students used to zip up to Deal on metro far more conveniently than students who lived near Shepard ever could get themselves anywhere.

Bancroft parents at those Ward 1 listening sessions said a lot of things about how sacrifice was necessary for the good of the school, fully confident they were not the ones called upon to sacrifice. [/quote]
