[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's most likely to give is the determination of many high SES families to stay on the Hill past elementary, at least once BASIS stops making it through their WLs by September.  DCPS clearly doesn't give a damn if we stay.

so maybe Henerson's gaffes are meant to urge CH parents into charters?

Maybe it's time to confront her directly on these issues. "have you given up on a CH middle school?  Are you hoping for a charter to come in?  Do you hope to work for the charter system when you leave DCPS? Do you care whether current residents stay in the district or are you waiting for a new batch of babies?  How does this any of this fit with being chancellor of DCPS?"[/quote]

Isn't there also a question of lack of unity among high-SES people on Capitol Hill? I read elsewhere on DCUM that there is/was a vocal group of parents who are more liberal/in favor of diversity and they oppose this idea of consolidating high-SES in one school. And they have been politically successful? Is this true or not? If it's true then you may need to resolve this disagreement within the community before you can get govt to change.

I think everyone is in favor of diversity but for most of us, it doesn't trump a good education [/quote]

Couldn't agree more.  Diversity may be the icing on the cake, but you have to have a cake -- meaning a good, rigorous, high-quality education.[/quote]
