People always get crazy when talking about Takoma Park schools - I'm not sure why. Maybe because some people always want to disparage them and then others feel defensive. I've lived in Takoma Park for 15 years - my kids are in 7th and 9th grade (TPES, Piney Branch, TPMS and Blair) and I've never encountered the DCUM craziness in real life here in TP. Congrats again to Dr. Gadsden - it's an honor well-deserved. |
