[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with 13:51, I know of 2 schools in DC that do almost the exact same thing as part of their expeditionary curriculum.  It is not a performance piece or teachers presenting work.  I follow IT threads because I am interested in sending my child to the school-- but there are a couple of IT boosters that make the school seem desperate. [/quote]

It's sad that you equate parental enthusiasm with desperation.  I'm do not see myself as an IT booster but as a parent who, from time to time, shares information and my experiences on DCUM.  I've been amazed at how the parental and student excitement has remained so high for the school (even as we head into the home stretch).  If you came to the Family Day last weekend or the Learning Showcase last evening you would know that many of the IT posts are simply trying to convey community spirit and atmosphere that is hard to put into words.  If you are cynical, then this may sound like boosting to you.  However, we're having a community event in May and if you are lucky enough to win a spot, you can come experience it for yourself.

This.  NP. I'd love to echo my excitement about the school and do not want to come off as desperate.  I truly have not experienced anything like what we are experiencing at IT.  My kid was so bummed out not to have school today.  I absolutely love IT and personally, would not leave for any other public/charter in the city.  But that is my personal experience and would never expect anyone else to have that same perception.  There are so many great schools in DC and I'm excited about that.  We just never got lukcy in getting in any of the other ones and are over the moon that we were lucky to get into IT.  Big risk, but big rewards IMO.

The showcase was pretty awesome.  It does happen at other schools.  We went to one with a friend at Bridges.  It wasn't as in dept, of course as they're preschoolers, but there were stamps and that was exciting.  I was very impressed that it seemed to be at least a 90% turnout for each class.[/quote]
