[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Ward Six parent, I feel like the only way I am going to buy into a DCPS middle school is if I have a strong connection to it, and if lots of other parents (whom I have gotten to know) from other Ward Six schools are also connected to it.  But to be sure, Ward Six parents cannot do it alone, there's not enough of us, and [b]we need parents from other Wards to also put their shoulder into it.[/b][/quote]

And why exactly would parents from other wards do that?  There is no guarantee of quality, there is no guarantee their children would even be accepted via OOB lottery.  Why would any OOB parent in their right mind leave a school like Cap City or Haynes or any other promising charter to support the swamp of DCPS?  Encouraging people to experiment on untried and untested schools only works when the people have no options.  Or, if they're not your children.  Then, maybe you're a little too out of touch to understand why they give more of a shit than you do.
