[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The thing is DC used to have what you described in NY - it was called principal discretion and most principals let children stay. And the result was the imbalance and overcrowding at a few schools we have today.

[b]If a school is overcrowded, you can expand it.[/b] I realize that costs money, but I know of one school that's pile driving steel supports into its second-floor expansion only to support the weight of a kiln. Murch is expanding as it is. And your EOTP schools are never going to improve if you keep fragmenting their communities. That's quite simple. If a school is overcrowded, there are a host of options that don't involve disrupting a child's education because their parents have to move. [/quote]

Yes, Deal for all! Let's just have one middle school for all children in DC![/quote]

I think people don't realize that under the old policy, several schools more than doubled in size in 5 years, and they feed the same middle school and high school. It simply is not sustainable. You can't just keep expanding. The schools are too big already. It's really gotten crazy.[/quote]
