[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I doubt many people will leave if they implement DC-wide HS. I am surprised all these parents who tell me how great Janney, Lafayette, Murch, etc. have such little faith in DCPS as a whole. [/quote]

So basically either A) you've never heard of "white flight" (and its generation later "upper-middle-class-AA-flight-to-PG-County") or B) you think it's just sh*t someone made up.

The fastest way to destroy a middle-class community, is to take away their access to safe, high-quality schools.  Look at what happened to Detroit.  DC was on the exact same path during the Barry years, but fortunately we have Congressional oversight, so Barry was castrated and Anthony Williams was installed in his place.  The city has been on the upswing ever since.  (In a way, it is consolation in case Gray is re-elected: DC will return to laughing-stock status, and lose the possibility of Home Rule/statehood for at least a generation if we re-elect a criminal, yet again.)
