[quote=Anonymous][b]Suggesting that DCPS should kick out the kids you don't like is politically infeasible, no wonder Tommy Wells doesn't seem responsive. [/b]

If it's politically infeasible to kick out kids who parents don't live in DC, or pay taxes here, or charge their parents, we're all in trouble.

To my knowledge, nobody's talked to Wells about closing LT.  He wasn't responsive in 2010 when a group of two dozen IB parents petitioned DCPS to shift the Cluster boundary to include the block between D & E and 6th and 7th NE for two reasons.  The block is closer to Peabody than LT, and nobody much felt comfortable enough with LT to send their children there.  DCPS told us that Peabody is oversubscribed, so get lost.  The Wells people were fine with that.

Fed up parents have started thinking in terms of wiping the slate clean only because, after a good 5 years of reform, LT essentially doesn't serve IB parents above PreK and doesn't seem like it ever will.  If you have Brent, Maury or the Cluster to turn to, think twice about judging us.
