[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that DCPS should offer free transportation to a less crowded option for any kid zoned to Wilson, whose parents feel that Wilson is the "crisis" that needs to be fixed in DCPS.  Seems as though parents would be flocking to that option.

Except that DCPS already does offer this, through the OOB process, and Wilson parents don't take the opportunity.  Why not?  Because there is no "crisis" and Wilson's students are some of the best served in the city.

DCPS offers free transportation (via Metro) for all students already. [/quote]

Which is why I said that DC alreadybdoes offer it?

My point is that any parent who thinks Wilson’s enrollment is the biggest “crisis” DCPS faces and worthy of resources is a hypocrite if they don’t take advantage of the free transportation to underenrolled options.[/quote]

Because the kids who are left behind at under enrolled schools lose critical resources due to low head count.   Because adding a daily two hour commute to a students life is two hours less they could be studying, working or volunteering.  Because shuttling thousands of kids across the city is bad for the environment.  Because continuing to expand Deal and Wilson is fiscally irresponsible when the city has 20,000 excess seats elsewhere in the city.    [/quote]
