[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS can redistrict all they want, but you cannot make parents send their kids to poor performing schools. That will be a quick ticket to charter schools.[/quote]

The ones people want their kids to go to are full already.  They are practically out of buildings to put new charters into.  People don't want to move out.  They will send their kids to poorly performing schools once they get a critical mass of their peers jumping in at the same time.

I think the difference here is generational.  Those who are newer to the game are willing to jump in and grind.  A lot of those who've been around for a while are skittish outside of their narrowly defined safe spaces.

I know DC used to be rough but things are better!  You're more likely to get stumbled into by a drunk 20-something than mugged late on 14th NW.  You can get croissants in Columbia Heights and learn Latin in Petworth!  They even painted B R O O K L A N D really big in Brookland so you know where you are in case you're lost![/quote]
