[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea is a clever one that should be looked into.

Sure folks are not going to like it if it turns into something,but hey DCPS doesn't really care what most families want.[/quote]

Untrue.  DCPS cares what middle class/affluent families want, just like most organizations care.  If DCPS didn't care:  1.  The Wilson/Deal boundary would be MUCH smaller; 2.  Oyster-Adams would have lost the Wilson feed (as first proposed during the last boundary review); 3.  Murch, Janney, Lafayette, and other WotP schools would not have received pricey renovations and expansions; etc.  [/quote]

Actually that is a good few points there.  Although I agree that it makes sense for the Oyster Adams middle to feed to McFarland, Oyster Adams is in Dupont Circle and McFarland is closer to the Middle school location, even if it not closer to everyones house:).  I just don't see how DCPS would have the balls to do it - given how much the Mayor needs happy upper north west people to like her.

Oyster Elementary is in Woodley, Adams Middle School is in Adams Morgan (that's where the Adams in AdMo comes from).  Neither is in Dupont Circle.  They are both walkable neighborhood schools for us, which makes  sense because they are our local in boundary schools. MacFarland is not walkable or local. [/quote]
