| At Janney, the ruling class (25 percent of the school) acts this way. The rest are fine. |
| So weird for an elementary school to have a ruling class. |
Next thing you know, someone will be trying to use JHKLMM!
|
Already being done, it's EHJKLMMRSS now, get with the program

But won't Hearst feel left out? |
Um, no, because the H is Hearst. |
Isn't it actually EHJKLMMORSS |
Sorry, that was an accident |
No way Hearst will be in the JKLM league until it becomes an overwhelmingly neighborhood school. |
Really? And what is the reason for this? Because it can't be a good school unless all upper NW high-SES white kids go there? I actually agree that Hearst is not in the "JKLM league" but the difference is I see that as a positive for the school. Not overcrowded, not huge, not a bunch of rich white kids. All good things in my book. |

M&M Mann.... and then the masses. |
Hearst boosters are the funniest. You know the type: the kid that clearly wasn't invited to the party but then shows up And pretends to know everyone, constantly talking about how he was so looking forward to getting drunk tonight. Which school do you prefer: School A: 29% advanced with 47% proficient in reading 12% advanced with 56% proficient in math 7% ESL 35% FARMS 287 kids 57% black, 28% white, 4% Asian, 8% Latino 18% in boundary School B: 40% advanced with 36% proficient in reading 16% advanced with 63% proficient in math 7% ESL 16% FARMS 334 kids 37% black, 47% white, 7% Asian, 8% Latino 38% in boundary I contend that if you strictly prefer school A, then you're not honestly objective and are instead looking for a way to justify your bias. Not only is Hearst not in the same league as JKLM (for better or worse, whatever) but it's not even the H in the comical list above. |
Let me guess, you are a Janney parent. |
