[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:43, I've read your post 3 times now.  You make many interesting points, and I appreciate your input.  Am I correct that your argument for why Bancroft & Shepard Park need to be [b]granted[/b] access to Deal & Wilson is because you believe Bancroft & Shepard Park offer [b]additional[/b] racial and economic diversity?

I see all your other commentary about other schools and neighborhoods.  But I don't see any other arguments specific to Bancroft & Shepard Park.  Please let me know if I missed any.[/quote]
Based on these words in bold: are you aware that Bancroft and Shepherd are already Deal feeders? No-one needs to make an argument why these schools should feed to Deal. They already do. The issue is how to solve over-crowding at Deal: do we need to shrink boundaries and remove a feeder school, and if so, which school. This is not an exercise in which we make a list of all elementary schools in DC and ask which should feed to Deal. It is the reverse - we begin with those that do currently feed and ask which, if any, should be removed.

let me know if I have misunderstood your question. [/quote]
I'm not sure whether you've misunderstood or not, because you never answered.  Can you please answer my question?: Are there any other persuasive arguments for why Bancroft & Shepard Park should feed to Wilson/Deal, besides added diversity they might offer?

To answer [i]your [/i]question: [b]Yes, I understand the current scenario, and the current proposal(s) for change.  [/b]I also understand that there have not yet been any final decisions, so everything is still on the table.  I'm just trying to understand why you think Bancroft & Shepard Park should feed to Wilson & Deal.  You wrote, upthread, that there are many good reasons why, so I'm trying to list them.[/quote]

And now this. This is all the same PP. You can catch the same phrases and misspellings. He or she starts off in the thread as very rude, makes some outrageous claims about political dealing and spreads false information, insinuating that Bancroft and Shepherd were not part of Deal before. But then later, switches to passive aggressive ("I am just trying to make a list of the arguments, with an open mind") and says that he/she is well aware that they are feeders.

I cannot figure out what PP hopes to gain by this, but he or she is obviously a manipulative jerk.

Well Sherlock, I'm not sure who here is the manipulative jerk, but it's clear you have different points of view.  That's alright, isn't it?[/quote]
