[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not be surprised if Hardy is taken out as a feeder then to Wilson then.

Then Hardy's IB population would go from 13% to about zero![/quote]

Not if the Hardy kids are slotted for Ellington.  Just make room for them there (Ellington's got plenty of room after the renovation!).  That, or D.C. would be forced to build a new high school to serve the Hardy neighborhood.  Or, as others have said, re-route some of the feeders away from Deal.  Something will have to give one way or the other.[/quote]

Ellington is a selective high school with an application process involving an audition/creation of a portfolio, a family interview, and more. It's designed to find those who would enjoy and be good at spending 4 years in a performing arts school with a 9-hour school day. You can't just move all Hardy 8th graders to Ellington; many might prefer a more traditional high school experience.

Your suggestion is roughly as useful as mine, which is: [b]let's just slice off the parts of DC that feed into Janney and Murch and give them to Mont Co. Then Hardy and Oyster can have Wilson all to themselves. Work for you?[/b][/quote]

That would work for me, if they were to slice off AU Park and some other neighborhoods and give them to MoCo.  My kids would go to Westland, which is not too much farther than Deal, and to BCC.  Both schools would be at least a slight buno up in quality.  I'd get to vote for two senators and a real congressman.  As the closest MoCo neighborhoods to downtown, my property values would probably increase significantly.  I wouldn't have to put up with the 3Cs (cronyism, corruption and clownishness) of DC politics.  Basically, we'd get all the benefits of our present close-in location, with more services and less hassle.  What's not to like about that?[/quote]

Sounds good, don't let the door hit you...![/quote]
