[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Want to understand the hostility? OK then, belatedly solicit input from the silent majority of in-boundary parents in the JA feeders who think that the current "neighborhood middle school" development plan stinks. Hold truly inclusive meetings, conduct surveys etc.

[b]Without the programming to serve students who work at and above grade in place at JA[/b], many of us don't want 30 million renovation dollars frittered away on that building...  [/quote]

Have you even bothered to look and ask about the "programming"? I for one have and now know that there are advanced options at JA. That is more important to our family by the way than a fancy building, or we would have decided in favor of DCI.[/quote]

Yes, went to open houses, heard the presentations, talked to admins. There aren't honors/advanced classes at JA because DCPS won't pony up for the teachers' salaries without a big cohort of advanced students having already turned up. Admins and teachers differentiate for advanced learners as best they can, using pullouts etc.  But the reality is that most of the kids work below grade level, often far below.    [/quote]
