+1 people. Be an example to your kids and figure it out.

It's not just one, it's the capital hill cluster gang and the ward 3 crew.

Good thing their turfs are so far away and they leave their areas. Watching them battle would be epic.


Especially since the Cap Hill schools are mediocre at best. Even the schools like Brent that have no FARMS have scores comparable to Shepherd that has 1/3 FARMs, yet they claim they true bangers in the game.


WTH?

You guys sound bitter and jealous.

I recall the pressure (from the media) to telework on the day the million man march was scheduled-for several years back. I drove in to work nonetheless and traffic was a complete breeze, thanks to so many people that who stayed home I guess. I'm expecting it'll be the same for the Pope's visit -- smooth commuting!

Thanks a lot Mr/ Ms Smug! If only my neighborhood school taught more than 15% of its students to read at the level of proficient!


If you and a bunch of other people in your neighborhood sent your kids there, the proficiency rate might go up.


Sir Smugness- are you going to pay for an organizer to convince all of my neighbors to switch schools?



Why did the people buy in the neighborhood in the first place? Oh I forgot for-profit Charters.


I bought where I could afford. Where do you live/ send your kids to school? How much does your family make?


The only DCPS schools with reading proficiency at or below 15% are Ballou, Harris, Hendley, and Moten. If you live in-bounds for any of these, there are absolutely closer and higher-performing charters than Brookland.

Then stay home from school that day. But don't expect all of dcps to close.


+1. Commutes will be complicated but we all have tons of time to make a plan and figure out an alternative means of transportation to get to where we need to be. If you can't / don't want to figure something out then keep your kids home.
