[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are starting PK there in the fall and I feel like we won the lottery just in time for everything to go completely off the rails. I am extremely apprehensive about MV at this point, and wondering if we haven't made a tremendous mistake giving up our spot at our happy neighborhood school w/ stable, effective leadership and a teacher that we love. I hope to God the bilingual thing is worth it, and that we haven't just voluntarily signed our kid up for a bad experience.[/quote]

If you really dislike it, can't you just return to your neighborhood school for K? [/quote]

Yes, except that if MV doesn't work out, we're leaving DC. We need a bigger place, and I can't buy a $1.XM house without some confidence in what's going to happen w/ the schools- we're in Shaw, and the future for the middle school there is, at best, unclear. All of which is to say, she'll have to go to a 2nd new school in 2 yrs if MV isn't a good fit. And yes, she's young, and yes, she'll recover, but it's a lot to put on a kid.

Between this and the situation w/ Shaw Middle School (the Mayor's office actively stoking racial resentment), I am feeling really spent. All of this uncertainty and upset is pretty avoidable if you just move into Arlington or MoCo. Which I do not want to do, for all the reasons no one on this site wants to, but man, it is a LOT of stress and worry to take on voluntarily.[/quote]
