For me, it's as if Charles Allen and company don't even bother with the rest of our community on education issues.

YES. His and Tommy Wells' silence as a huge chunk of Ward 6 was redistricted from Wilson to Eastern was deafening. Probably because CHPSPO's interest is in improving Eastern, not allowing kids access to Wilson, or keeping Wilson diverse.

I don't have a horse in this race, but doesn't he have a kid about to enter PK3? So whatever he does will impact his kid too.  That doesn't mean you have to agree with him. But there's a difference between disagreeing with him and ascribing nefarious intent. What if he was prioritizing Eastern? Since his the education quality in his district is more impacted by Eastern than Wilson wouldn't that be appropriate? Sure, if you were moved out of Wilson I get the anger; I would be angry too. But how myopic is your vision that you can't see that what is in your best interest isn't in everyone's?[/quote]

That's fair, and it's not that I disagree with "what's best for the greater community is what's best for all" but there also needs to be some flexibility here if you want to capitalize on the resources and energy the higher SES families on the hill bring. I'm sitting gere, wishing they were better schools but I'm not sending my kid in to be a sacrificial lamb.  If you want to talk myopic, go to a CHPSPO meeting. There's no other way but their way in ward 6.  If you're not on board you're an elitist prick. That's not going to fix jack. [/quote]
