Does your son go to Wilson? If not, why do you care?

I find it highly amusing and telling that you judge the teaching and status of a high school based on its tennis courts. Wilson is an urban school with a diverse student body and teachers committed to teaching to kids raised in a city. Langley is not only suburban, but it’s a wealthy, majority white school. I would never send my kids to Langley. There are some things that are frustrating about DCPS however it is a good education and my kids are very happy. They have a diverse socioeconomic friend group and they are independent thinkers and learners. They have to learn how to self advocate and fundraise if they want extra activities or benefits. Life is not being handed to them on a silver platter — even though we could. So, I suppose it’s about our family value value systems. Please stay in Virginia if our tennis courts are not up to your standards.

Plus the tennis courts are the rec courts, not the school's.

What's with metal detectors at Wilson school? Why do they have them @Wilson school? I don't see metal detectors in FCPS schools like James Madison, Woodson or Oakton.

A better question: Why don’t all high schools have metal detectors? But besides that,
You are intellectually unequipped to navigate urban areas and should stay within the confines of Fairfax. Seriously.

Since there has never been a mass shooting at an urban high school — PP is right that metal detectors are in the wrong schools.

Wilson has more white kids than any other group and growing every year. What is it 10 years away from being that wealthy white oasis you decry? I concede it will always have a better basketball team. Also hate to burst your bubble twice buy tenley town is suburban, it just has a “busing like” urban OOB program that each and every IB parent try’s to find get rid of.

Exactly why - I personally love the metal detectors. All DCPS secondary schools have them - middle and high. More of a nuisance for the kids as late arrivals are tough. But...they learn to plan!

Just took a straw poll of the 6 IB parents sitting i. My living room right now. None of us want OOB rights to end. You should really get out more.

So sorry, OP. And so happy you were able to scoot back over the bridge to your wealthy white bastion of safety. So happy.

Wilson doesn't have tennis courts.

Your hate is why I would not let my DC attend a school you had anything to do with, in any capacity. You need SERIOUS help with your anger issues. I certainly hope you are not a parent.
