[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just learned about this little tempest in a teapot from the Post story and find some of these takes hilarious.

Sorry but Lafayette parents were never able to call their own shots with the previous principal, regardless of their race or economic status. I can't tell you how many people I know who left the school for this reason, bc their kid was not getting the support they needed. The previous principal famously hated the Lafayette parent community and delighted in telling them no.

I know this bc my own kids went to Lafayette including a boy with a summer birthday and developmental delays who probably should have been held back and she refused.

In contrast to the JKLM stereotypes, I did not demand an exception for my little angel or call the media, but enrolled my newly minted 5yo in kindergarten and hoped for the best. (It honestly was not great but he eventually caught up.)

I don't know the new principal so don't know how or why things have changed. I mostly find amazing that somehow Carrie Broquard has been reinvented as a rampant rule breaker that kowtowed to the rich white patents of Lafayette. That was the polar opposite of my experience. [/quote]

There is some irony, I agree.[/quote]
