I guess, do the bad schools outweigh the good schools? I just have so much family that has has so much success.

And I'm the only that lives in ward 1

Maryland holds a lot of blood. And I'm not sure why people are still in a religion that has a bad reputation of child predators. I mean almost all religion based institutions have this dangerous problem. It's disgusting. This is why I don't mess with religion. And I think it's rather dangerous. People use it to abuse others everyday...

Yeah that's the work around/response to keep things moving.

I believe they intentionally don’t do this because it could lead to people sprinting down the escalators and getting themselves or others hurt.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone pay cash into a bus fare box. Usually the driver just tells them to go sit and not hold anyone up.

They need to have more benches for sitting when you are waiting for the trains.

ugh. Yeah Saturday does not look great.

Collecting fares on buses. It's a huge back up issue to have each passenger tap card, error, re tap load money, flatten bills etc vs walking directly on bus one after another. It causes back up in traffic and delays bus timetables to load buses and even more exacerbated for n popular routes or rush hour.

They had betas for cash less, temp no fares etc but nothing came from it.

The parents who GAF having better outcomes? Damn that must make you so mad. Before the lottery they'd camp out in front of out of boundary schools just to try to do better for their kids.

Running the 5k on Saturday. NOT looking forward to the rain and high winds!

W3 is king on schools. W1 is much better now than it used to be.

No, it’s just a case of offenders being transient. They look for more remote targets and then blend back in to the city.

I attended in the 80's. He was there for a very long time.

The Google pay/apple pay NFC takes a few seconds to read but people are so used to tapping and instant walking thru that it causes mis read and then back up.

So you are saying those with first hand knowledge of DCPS should not contribute?

Better signage to let riders know which railcar their getting into. Kind of like what's displayed on the sticker at the end of the westbound red line track at gallery place.

Someone once suggested a small change that I thought was interesting:

For the really long escalators at least, Wheaton and DuPont come to mind, put the “Train Incoming” sign near the top of the escalator. It would help the average person know whether or not to book it down

Yeah. charters skim off the kids with parents that care enough to apply and/or lottery.

I mean, ward 3 has good schools as well.

I don't know, all my family went to dcps and they're all successful and happy.

This feels like a shot at Rittenhouse, in which case logic would dictate one points out how every state has a "back against the wall" absolute self-defense rule, and being chased, or being beaten on the ground, would count as being against the wall.

>my work in forensics in a neighboring county.

Is this bc DC's lost their accreditation and relying on neighboring jurisdiction to pick up slack?
