[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, this is exactly what I am talking about. There has been huge, vocal neighborhood support and buy-in in the early years for several years. The families enter and work hard to make it a strong school, like your friends are likely doing now. DCPS throws them a bone, they work harder, DCPS steals the bone, the kids get older, the parents realize DCPS is not going to create a better path for after early ed, the parents move their kids, new toddlers enter and the cycle repeats. The idea that neighborhood but-in turns the school around is patently false in DCPS. It is believed only by those who have small children and haven't watched the cycle repeat.[/quote] Garrison isn't even our IB school, but I'm concerned about the amount of BS it seems to get from DCPS. Given it's location in a diverse area, neighbor support, Ward 2 ed coalition, proximity to transportation, specialized Autism program, and the size of the field, why does it seem to repeatedly get the short end of the DCPS stick? Seems like a no-brainer to put money into a backup engine for a boat that's ready to set sail. What gives? How can non-Garrison boundary folks help?[/quote]
