And some of the strongest advocates for school change are EOTR and they get ignored by DCPS.  Cutting teacher numbers, less resources.  This would not fly at Wilson to the extent that Eastern and Anacostia high schools are about to take a hit next year.  [/quote]

They are taking a hit because they are loosing population.  Also why anyone would willingly send their child there is beyond me.   You should be going to an application school

Again the main theme is higher income blacks are just like higher income whites.  [b]You have 3 choices WOTP, charters/application or private.[/b]  DCPS is a joke.[/quote]

Good luck on the charter front over the next few years. Facility costs, organized activism against charters, politicians working against charter schools and lack of any organized advocacy for charters by parents is undermining the entire charter sector. Then good luck when we are all back to having only two choices.[/quote]

Charters will still be popular and in demand, going strong, in the city as long as DCPS continues to ignore meeting the needs of kids at or above grade level especially EOTP.   It’s the only reason middle class families are staying in the city and not moving to the burbs.  Hence why no big resistance from the city with more charters being formed.  The city is happy getting it’s tax dollars.  In addition, the city knows that charters offers low income families EOTR an alternative to their poor performing school.  [/quote]
