That rule doesn't work neatly in this scenario because of Lafayette's location. Where would Lafayette students go to MS and HS?


Lafayette can continue to go to Wilson. Wilson is not overcrowded. It's overcrowded with OOB students.

No, the poster said the "equivalent" of instruction.

Maybe student could be studying, doing enrichment activities, sports, volunteering, etc. instead of waiting on an overcrowded platform for a delayed red line train and arriving home late, tired, and hungry. Or, we could just keep forcing them to an overcrowded Deal. You are right, the latter option makes much more sense.
nice try, but the poster specifically spoke of extra instruction days, not time for enrichment et al
there are DC kids who go all the way out to Madeira, and kids from Poolesville at the cathedral schools
they make the commute because they think it's worth it...and somehow manage to get a decent education in spite of the commute
