[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OH yes, anyone who has lived on the Hill for more than 10 years and might have children who are older than 8 should have their opinions disregarded due to their memory of the Cluster that was repeatedly mentioned in the neighborhood before some of the PPs were out of college and didn’t even live in DC.

SMH - you are all welcome to reinvent the wheel, AGAIN. [/quote]

Huh? Is the fact that your info is dated (see, 25 years specifically mentioned by the PPP) supposed to be mitigated by the relative youth of some people? I'm confused by your argument. Would someone have to have lived here in 1998 to understand the landscape of the schools their kids attend now?  Neither the housing market, economy nor schools of CH remotely reflect the state of affairs from 25 years ago, or 10 years ago. And I say that as someone who has live here for close to two decades.  That is simply a fact. So if your perspective of schools, or their reputations, or safety of your neighborhood is rooted in information from a decade ago, it isn't really valid for people making decisions today.

The population of was falling into the 2000 census and increased from there. DC is 31% whiter from 2000-2010. Housing prices in 20002 and 20003 increased dramatically and significantly more than in the rest of DC as a whole. Charter schools didn't exist, etc. No one is saying that your experience isn't without some merit, but what I am saying is that your experience from the cluster wars and DC schools from 10-20 years is not particularly relevant.  Your defensiveness and poor use of sarcasm doesn't make you any more relevant. [/quote]
