[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an EOTP parent of a soon-to-be middle schooler with ZERO good middle school options, it's depressing to see how entitled the WOTP parents are about their rights to attend a particular school and their rights to keep interlopers from undesirable neighborhoods out.  Get the F out of our school and go to a substandard education campus because we deserve it more than you... so selfish.  [/quote]

+1. WotP parents should just get signs that say, "I got mine, f* you!!" At the focus groups, the hostility from Janney and Lafayette parents was overwhelming. It is sad (but not surprising) how little they think of the city as a whole. [/quote]

As has been noted before, as long as only X percent of the schools are deemed adequate, we will all be clamoring for those resources.  That isn't a "greedy WotP parent" thing or a "didn't think about where I bought my home EotP parent" thing, it is all DC parents wanting what is best for their children.  Some of the earlier threads on this forum were at least trying to address the better question, how can we improve the (1-X) percent of schools?  Some of those threads have focused on middle schools (like creating a new test-in middle school EotP) or other options for high school.  It is too bad that those threads seem to have died out (perhaps because all that could be said was said) and the current threads about who is going to get what now dominate.  I can't be all high and mighty since I've participated in those threads too, and we are all just so needing of information and to talk about it.  But maybe we could start up another thread about how we could actually improve our schools.[/quote]
