Pls stop these blanket attacks on Walls.

Are vague communications a problem or not?

What inspired your defense of the communication practices at Walls?

A hit dog will holler! I have two children in DCPS schools as well (not Walls), and I rarely, if ever, receive general communication that does not mention the specific child. Especially not about something this important.

Maybe our middle school teacher, who teaches all three grades in one specific subject, is not as superior in their communication as your teacher. And the teacher did send a general communication about unfinished assignments without specifying the classes.

Well, I was actually genuinely feeling sympathy for your kid not making to Walls, but with this attitude of yours…..I hope you work on your bitterness and be a role model.

These two emails are sent to hundreds of people. The admissions coordinator is not sifting through to check the names of siblings who applied. This is not a private school.

And no I am not defending thr communication practices of the school in general. This is a specific situation.

Any email system can fill in the student name in each email. You shouldn't have to go to private school for that.
