Holy sh*t! This is bad.

DCI is really sinking.

I don’t agree. Seems like a small group is complaining about ensuring teachers are on time. A few people were let go for reasons we can’t legally know. I don’t know why you think a school is “sinking”. By that measure dcps as a whole is fully sunk (wait that might be accurate).

What do these protestors mean by “loss of IB for all”? It makes little sense to me but I’m an outsider.

I am once again asking in what world is 94% of staff, thousands of petition signers, and hundreds of students walking out a "small group"? Stop trying to make small group happen.

I think there were like 12 kids in the walkout, most of the kids didn’t even know it was happening. The staff number is unsurprising, given how teachers rebel against any and all accountability at every school.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The entire high school walked out. Watch the video.

I only have what the high school kids I know told me, and they said in typical high school fashion that it was the typical kids who do this sort of thing, just a handful

HS kids who don't go to DCI? I was there and hundreds of students walked out. Rosskamm walked out too but out the back of the school to Fort Stevens so he wouldn't have to face the students.

Looks like a lot more than 12 kids to me: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXwyuyEJNOL/

Your continued "teachers hate accountability" argument doesn't really explain why students walked out, alumni spoke out, parents organized, and community members testified publicly. At some point, it becomes statistically improbable that every group raising concerns is the problem.

When your explanation for every criticism is that the critic is lazy, uninformed, manipulated, or disgruntled, you're no longer evaluating evidence. You're protecting your (wrong) conclusion.

The evidence we have is weak and all you’re doing is appealing to essentially unfalsifiable claims.

I dispute that the walkout was that big (and students claim it was the usual suspects, backing me up there). I dispute that the parental organization was any great number outside of dramatic LAMB parents who have caused trouble their entire time in the Charter system (and the behavior of other parents and the board backs me up here).

I don’t dispute the petition, but it appears in response to a truly necessary call for staff accountability.

Did you...watch the video? You can see it's big from the actual video.

It appears to be more than 12 but still not a huge crown considering DCI has 1600 students.

I dispute your characterization of “big”

Why did my post saying that it was interesting that Simon Rodberg's kid was one of the newspaper article authors get taken down? The newspaper article notes that itself; I wasn't outing a kid who didn't explictly out themselves (and good for them for noting the potential COI).

And people want more funding for charter schools? I think you have it…your principals and boards just like to spend it on themselves

The board members are unpaid. Please stop spreading false information.

I am once again asking what do these protestors mean by “loss of IB for all”?

I have never gotten a clear answer to this and I’ve asked people directly. Is this just made up?

One frustration is it is hard to get a straight answer on what the material problems are underlying the protest with the exception of the staff complaints (which are clear, at least as it relates to new standards of professionalism, just stupid).

Therapeutic language around no real core argument or evidence. I even have to extrapolate from the anxieties of other IB schools because the proponents can’t articulate their concerns clearly.

[Anonymous]

Materially, what does it mean to end IB for all, and what explicit actions are the school taking to lead to it? No one knows! I was assuming people were freaking out over new AP classes, which I think is wrongheaded, but it’s not clear that’s the case.

I have no kids at DCI and no horse in this race. The video posted flies in the face of bolded. So either the video is AI or you are just making things up and sticking with your story. If an outsider is trying to figure out who is credible, it isn't you.

I don’t have a kid at DCI either but it looked pretty small for a student population with 1600 kids. It’s not like the whole school or even 10% walked out.

Can someone provide an answer for this? I don’t care about the walkout, the video, anything. I just want to understand what they mean by putting IB at risk.

Wow--like rats leaving a sinking ship.

RIP DCI.
