Huh?

Deal/Janney parents mocking the idea of dealing with Wilson overcrowding by something other than getting rid of the brown kids while simultaneously mocking suburban posters for not being "urban" (as if NWDC were urban) is hypocritical and gross, more so when it includes a slight racist dog whistle.

Pretty simple really.

Do you think every conversation is about race?

I find it highly amusing and telling that you judge the teaching and status of a high school based on its tennis courts. Wilson is an urban school with a diverse student body and teachers committed to teaching to kids raised in a city. Langley is not only suburban, but it’s a wealthy, majority white school. I would never send my kids to Langley. There are some things that are frustrating about DCPS however it is a good education and my kids are very happy. They have a diverse socioeconomic friend group and they are independent thinkers and learners. They have to learn how to self advocate and fundraise if they want extra activities or benefits. Life is not being handed to them on a silver platter — even though we could. So, I suppose it’s about our family value value systems. Please stay in Virginia if our tennis courts are not up to your standards.

Wilson has more white kids than any other group and growing every year. What is it 10 years away from being that wealthy white oasis you decry? I concede it will always have a better basketball team. Also hate to burst your bubble twice buy tenley town is suburban, it just has a “busing like” urban OOB program that each and every IB parent try’s to find get rid of.

Just took a straw poll of the 6 IB parents sitting i. My living room right now. None of us want OOB rights to end. You should really get out more.

Yah but most do they just call it over crowding. Hell they want to kick shepherd out just because it is on the wrong side of the park. You should really open your eyes.

It may be that we travel in different circles. Of the 6 parents I spoke to, two are current or former middle school coaches and all have kids who played sports for Wilson. As such, we’ve been inside most DCPS high schools and met parents from those schools. If they want their kids to have the same educational opportunity as my kid, I’m not really opposed to that. We were actually talking about overcrowding and the ideas being floated were things like more dual enrollment or a staggered school day with some kids starting earlier and others staying later. Not practical probably, but the point is that other than too crowded hallways, I don’t have a huge problem with Wilson getting bigger. My niece attends a high school with 5000 kids and it’s great.

.

Maybe we can even have some kids take night classes Wilson or house them in dorms on the other side of DC closer to the many schools with extra capacity. DCPS needs to think outside the box here.

Or make the whole school virtual so everyone can attend Wilson from anywhere at any time that is convenient to them.

Your hate is why I would not let my DC attend a school you had anything to do with, in any capacity. You need SERIOUS help with your anger issues. I certainly hope you are not a parent.
