[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea what bespoke middle school means.  It currently says Shaw Junior High on the building.  This is such a strange discussion.[/quote]

NP. Bespoke means custom. PP is suggesting that Shaw parents think they have the right to demand exactly what they want without respect to the needs of the entire school system, and ignoring the fact that you have a school waiting for you that everyone assumes is unsatisfactory (Cardozo MS), without ever meeting a single administrator or teacher at that school.

Are you trying to say that Cardozo Middle is satisfactory?  Good luck.  I do know people who work there, and I know that they have churned through Assistant Principals at an alarming rate.  Ask yourself why so few students attend who are not in the International Academy.  It isn't just DCUM who finds it unsatisfactory.  It's pretty much everyone.[/quote]

And if all of you went there it would almost immediately change. Schools are about the students who attend them. If your 5 yo and all their classmates go, it will be a radically different place. [/quote]

So what?  They won't.  How about DCPS deal with the actual problems?  It needs a permanent leader and the academic and behavior problems of the kids need to be adequately remediated.  For their own sake and not to attract gentrifiers.

Downtown evidently does not give a cr*p about Cardozo Middle.  Until they do, what hope is there?
