[quote=Anonymous]DCPS has never given a hoot what parents think. Back in the day, Hyde (minus Addison) not only never managed to push through any renovations or new additions, it actually faced closure, not once but numerous times. It still remains a majority OOB school and that is unlikely to ever change. OOB kids probably will be far less affected by the swing and some may find it more convenient. OOB parents are usually grateful at having gotten their kid(s) in to a "good" school and rarely rock the boat. H-A parents should be grateful they are getting such an upgrade. A local swing option would have been ideal but not at the cost of squeezing Hardy, a school with its own set of problems. As for Fillmore, it would be crazy for H-A to not fight for keeping it seeing as the individual schools will never be able to replicate such depth, diversity and quality of instruction. There is a long, long history here that some may want to investigate before discarding a proven program in the hopes that DCPS will offer them something equally good or better. DCPS taketh away much more than giveth. The mantra should be to never abandon something that works until that better thing is already tested and up and running.[/quote]
