[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not that Ward 3 parents purchased expensive houses and thus should be entitled to their neighborhood schools. Many, many of us have devoted blood, sweat and tears over recent years to improving these neighborhood schools. And that's why the possibility of losing access to them (either through shifting boundaries at ES or citywide lotteries in older grades) is so unpalatable. Ward 3 parents have done the hard work of building community. We get it. And we do support other wards in their efforts to improve their neighborhood schools.

Just get over it.  You have the privilege of living in the District of Columbia, life changes, and majority rules.  To the victors go the spoils.   Just pay up and shut up and get out of the way.  ONE CITY, baby!

Poor dear. This is a petty and small rebuke to a reasonable assertion. But more importantly, it's naive. You can't tell ward 3 families to "put up or shut up." Take a look at DC"s annual budget.  There are charts in there about about the tax base and where if is. Your comment shows a sad resentment: folks touting "nod city above all else" will have to set that kind of animosity aside to be effective.[/quote]
