[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be honest this post pisses me off.  You've essentially WON THE LOTTERY and you're complaining about the location?!  I live in the neighborhood and would LOVE to get my child in to Two Rivers.  Given that our wait list number is in the 200s this is not going to happen this year.  Count yourself lucky.[/quote]

I have heard many wonderful things about 2R over the years, but I have also heard many horrible stories.  No school is perfect.  I know plenty of people who have pulled their kids out due to bad teachers, inability to meet their children's academic levels (high or low), etc.  We got into 2R a few years ago and determined it wasn't a good fit for DC.  It does happen.  It would be ridiculous to take a spot at a school without doing some further research.  [/quote]

Oh, PP, go lick your wounds somewhere else. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with asking questions about a school. Our child got admitted into 2R last year for preschool, but we withdrew him the day we got the call from the DCPS we really wanted letting us know there was an opening. 2R was great for the 3 weeks we were there, but the tiny playground/6 lane Florida Ave issue was HUGE for us. And there were other things that bugged us....I know it's minor and PC and all but the no celebrating holidays bugged us. So while, yes, we felt immensely lucky to be offered the spot (the only one we got after applying to 14 DCPS and charter schools), it was not what we wanted and I feel no need to apologize for that or for jumping ship when we had the chance.
