[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You realize DCI become a reality just last fall.   The only people who knew that DCI was a possibility for middle and high school were the people applying to the feeders for this fall.  Not all of us are parents of 3/4 yrs olds here and had alternative plans for middle and HS prior to DCI.  Many/most parents may decide to stick it out.  DCI certainly has potential.  But others like us, plan on leaving DC by then and [b]return to our hometown [/b]which does not mean we are "bailing."[/quote]

That's what is annoying to most of us.  See, for those of us FROM DC, who are working hard to make commitment to these schools (and I'm not in a DCI feeder school) you are just filler.  You are taking space for someone who actually could make a long term difference.  Just go back to Kansas now so we do t waste our time on you.[/quote]

Like it or not DC is a transient town and yeah, we're here for work like everyone else who moves here not b/c we LOVE it or have any connection whatsoever aside from making a living.  We chose to live in DC and send our kid to a public charter school even though most everyone we knew back in NYC was mortified, DC public schools are famous all over the country...

I'm sorry you feel that way but know that we'll be glad to leave too.

We'll be staying at our charter til 5th which is what we signed up for when we applied.  We love it btw.[/quote]
