[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The racists in this thread are proving my point about Maury being a school that is unwelcoming to black families. Racists are real bold online but I can guarantee that they would never any of the stuff they say online to a black person’s face. Keep that same energy in real life.[/quote]

Can you identify what in this thread has been racist? I also think it's a big leap to think all the posters are from Maury, so I'm not sure why anything in this thread proves any point about Maury families.

I am sorry you had a bad experience at Maury, but the fact that you pointed to their reaction to the Miner proposal as "racist" does make me question your judgment in that respect. Miner is a bad school. I would not want my kids to go there. I do not blame Maury parents for objecting to a proposal that would send their kids there. That is not evidence that they are racist.[/quote]

Miner is a great school. I went to an open house during the spring, and we loved Dr. Broquard. She’s a non-nonsense type of leader who demands accountability. She seems committed to making Miner into a top tier school. I adore her.[/quote]

She was not Miner's principal when the Maury-Miner merger was proposed.[/quote]

Where did I say that she was? Yeah, that’s right, I didn’t. [/quote]

You were responding to someone who said Maury parents rejected the Miner proposal because Miner was a bad school. How good the new principal (as of August 2024) is now is completely immaterial to how parents felt about the school back in March 2023 - March 2024, when the Miner proposal was under discussion as part of the boundary study.[/quote]

Especially as part of the reason she was parachuted in was in response to the feedback DCPS received during the Maury-Miner discussion that no one wanted to go to a school which had something like 6 principals in 7 years, several of whom were placed on leave.[/quote]

The world does not revolve around Maury parents… DCPS focused on a principal search bc the kids at Miner deserve  stability and quality leadership - not just bc Maury parents brought it up.
Glad she is coming back for a second year, hopefully Miner can get some continuity they have been lacking in the past several years.[/quote]

Well the DCPS Maury-Miner plan actually did implicitly believe that white parents are more powerful and thus should be distributed as a resource. and in fact I do think the white parents pointing out that Miner has been catastrophically poorly administered and neglected by DCPS had some influence on DCPS giving them a better principal. Perhaps DCPS should look at itself in the mirror and ask why it takes white parents speaking up and pointing out their neglect of Miner to get resources for Miner? whose fault is that? [/quote]
