More than likely people are not familiar with Latin. Some people are not yet comfortable with charter schools. One or two more bus school routes might be helpful but that might be too costly.

Also more discussion of what classical education is and the value of taking Latin could be helpful in recruiting diverse students. There needs to be more promoted than a perceived safe elite school. Latin has two good campuses. Two bad there couldn’t be another campus at the Whittle school building if DCPS doesn’t want it.

Some creepy freak scopes out kids on a playground and now the conclusion is that Latin needs a third campus and their bus schedule should mirror a hotel airport shuttle running on the half hour. Got it.

I mean. The playground is a parking lot. But the new campus will be worth the wait. Especially because its less than a mile from the old one!

This is posted by their communications and marketing director. Not sure if Latin does the same but some of the posts here doesn’t make it seem that way.

Latin keeps its green space open and accessible to the entire community - which is more than a lot of DCPS and DCPCS do. Also plenty of theater performances and other activities are clearly advertised by posters around the school, which you should know since you spend your time walking around the school. Lowell is a private school with a private school budget and (by your account) has a "communications and marketing director." I am very comfortable with the fact that Latin is not spending its time or money marketing itself to the same degree that Lowell is.

Also Latin invited neighbors to free vaccination clinics during COVID.

This is pretty welcoming and clear. If a family lands on Washington Latin's homepage, the organization is making good efforts to bring down any barriers to folks feeling welcome, valued and able to get their application in.

Unless you consider this a deterrent:

"Free and accessible to families from all eight wards of the District, the school seeks young women and men of good character who are eager to learn and willing to work.

Washington Latin is open to any DC student. We are an open enrollment public charter school; there are no admissions requirements except DC residency."

Outdated language. Young “women and men” excludes the population of kids that do not categorize themselves as either. Okay Latin - you need to update your stated values. And what does “good character” mean - your language program that excludes Spanish indicates you do not believe the Spanish language belongs in your good character program. Latin needs to join us in 2023.

The accusation was that the poster was engaged in performative nonsense instead of actual issues that impact the education provided. Not sure why you think that is "irrelevant". Maybe you don't know what the word means?

DP.

You were engaged in performative nonsense, and your comments were dumb and irrelevant.

Maybe just sit this one out.
