The racism on this site and by many upper nw parents is unbelievable. The fact that these are the same “progressives” who place BLM signs in their yards is hilarious. [/quote]

To label certain desires by parents as “racism” is just wrong and an easy out to what the real issues are.   No - it’s not racist for a parent living in upper NW to want a local public school that their children can walk to and enjoy neighborhood friends.   Let’s NOT pretend we all don’t want is best for our children.  That is goal number 1. Are we thinking about children we don’t know?  No.  Sorry.

So maybe start and focus on making all DCPS better.  Maybe every child can win.

Oh, Ward3EdNet parents. You keep trying to turn the argument back to walkability as the highest priority. You've been raising the alarm regarding overcrowding for years in hopes of getting Shepherd and Bancroft kicked out of the feeder pattern. I warned you years ago to be careful because it could be you getting the boot. DCPS prioritizes other objectives higher than Ward 3 white kids walking to school. Now some of you are the ones fighting to not get ousted from the feeder pattern. I told you so.[/quote]

Oh you selfish and affluent Ward 4 parents are going to kill the golden goose if you keep trying to cram more students into Deal and Wilson - or don't you believe a MS designed for 1200 that is now up to 1600 and is still growing and a HS designed for 1800 and now at 2400 and still growing is a problem?

I love getting lectures from other affluent parents who bought an expensive house in a neighborhood where they aren't comfortable with some of the lesser peoples that live nearby and think they are therefore entitled to get as far away as possible and overcrowd the school my kids can walk to which reduces the educations of everyone involved, particularly those pesky lower income kids you scramble across the park every day to get away from.[/quote]
