[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fenty did it a second time because there wasn't enough uproar the first time.  If there aren't consequences, nothing will change.  And, no, bitching on this board is not a consequence (obviously - see Fenty).  So all you community organizing types, who has some kind of action or formal petition for action in the works.  Do we want these people fired, do we want a complete report for the last 5 years and all children of government officials who received a special placement removed from school (let the parents buy a friggin house IB if they want their kids in)?[/quote]

I'm not that interested in tarring and feathering the individual parents- their names are out there and it's embarassing.  I think they should be required to re-enter the lottery and not be permitted to re-enroll in the schools (I guess at this point it's too late for '17-'18 school year lottery).

Bowser needs to be held accountable.  Not much you can do with Henderson- she's gone.[/quote]

What do you mean it's too late for 17-18? Nope. It's not. Make identifying any special allowances made a priority and anyone that found needs to disenroll and enroll for their IB school. [/quote]

Punish the kids for the actions of their parents?[/quote]

Not getting something you were never entitled to, is not a punishment.  They are welcome to join my DD EOTP.  Or let's start charging their parents Maryland tuition.[/quote]

+1 and no one is saying kick them out now. But having them complete a year of school and then leave is what millions of children do worldwide when families move, or children go from elementary to middle school. This gives their parents 3+ months to explain to their children they are starting at a new school, or three months to find a home inboundary for the school they want to attend. They can take their pick. [/quote]
