[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't realize West has a new principal. I visited West 2 years ago when we were applying for our older son in the lottery and they mentioned their ROAR Matrix - it was something like (I may not have it exactly right):
 - Responsibility
 - Obedience
 - Accountability 
 - Respect

I was just inwardly shuddering when they talked about it - pretty much brought back every bad memory of school growing up. I never ever got in trouble and was almost a straight A student - yet I felt like I was in a police state.

Then in visiting schools I learned about the Four Is at Inspired Teaching: 
 - Intellect 
 - Inquiry
 - Imagination
 - Integrity

That pretty much sealed the deal for me that ITS was the right school for us. I think in some ways you can pretty much divide schools in DC between ROAR-like models and something else meant to stimulate students, not to merely control them.

Inspired Teaching is very difficult to get into so this post is not really helpful. [/quote]
