[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think so - I think those of you who are advocates for a Shaw Middle School really need to have a clear articulated position that considers and can respond to concerns/questions from each of these groups:

1. Stakeholders from Garrison, Seaton, Cleveland (I assume these are the loudest voices here, but could be wrong)
2. Stakeholders from Thomson, Ross, SWW-FS
3. Current MS parents at Cardozo
4. Stakeholders from Banneker[/quote]

This.  And no BS pseudo-reasons about the distance.  We all know that is not the real reason.  [/quote]

What are you talking about? Location certainly is a factor, among the many others discussed here.  This very convenient site for all 6 feeder schools vs. ?????[/quote]

vs. Cardozo. Which is also in a convenient location, and has the advantage of already existing.

The real problem in this is that group 1 is going to be fighting a war on two fronts: against group 4, who wants DCPS to focus on a new building for Banneker, and group 2, who want to keep SWW's middle school. The group 2 folks don't want to send their kids to Shaw OR Cardozo, both because of geography and because they think the group 1 kids will drag their kids down, just like the group 1 folks think the group 3 kids will drag theirs down.[/quote]

Well, yes, most people here have said they will not go to Cardozo and that rings true.  So, if it's Shaw site vs. Cardozo (and no other options), it's got to be Shaw or bust.[/quote]
