[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This proposal basically screws anyone not in Ward 3, Ross, Brent or Maury.[/quote]

...who were already screwed because they lacked a decent neighborhood school option.[/quote]

Please try to remember that only a few years have passed since even Brent and Maury were not considered decent options by most IB families living in the neighborhood.  Schools don't magically transform, it's takes a lot of time and hard work.  While its unfortunate that your neighborhood school isn't up to your standards, you should have known that when you moved to the neighborhood and decided to have children.  All in all, you have choices.  You can sit on your computer and bitch that life is unfair, you can move elsewhere, you can homeschool or go private, or you can mobilize your neighbors and commit to improving the school.  By most accounts, nearly every DCPS has a strong ECE program that you can build upon. This is exactly what happened at Brent and Maury.  In any event, things are not all that honky-dory for the long-term without viable middle school options.  This is the reason high-SES families abandon Hill schools in droves after 4th Grade.[/quote]
