[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A poster up thread nailed it with the statement that parents stop caring about PreK 3 enough to make a stink once they have kids in elementy school.  It is a nice to have and if it is worth it to a family it is available in other parts of the city.  No other city in the country has preK3 and 4 as widely available at the quality of DC.  It is wonderful but the goal is ECE for kids in need.  Those kids generally do not reside in Ward 3.  Much more important to the majority of upper NW DCPS families are the overcrowding issues.

But the problem is that DCPS is doing nothing to address PK3 or overcrowding in Ward 3. So many Ward 3 parents are justifiably pissed off because unlike many challenges facing DCPS, these problems are entirely within their control and fixable.  When Mendelson said last week that there are “no easy” answers to Ward 3 overcrowding everyone shook their heads.  There are several easy and FREE solutions. Now they may be politically difficult for him, but that’s seperate issue.[/quote]

OK, and would you support these solutions if it changed YOUR boundaries?
