[quote=Anonymous]It seems there is one person on here who is convinced that this at-risk preference will “ruin” Washington Latin.  Other folks who feel Latin already sucks because it is not having “enough” standardized-test success with at-risk students who are already there.

This is why Washington Latin will do well to continue its steadfast commitment being a school that is diverse by design while fulfilling its mission:

“Many schools are not sure what they stand for. Such is not the case at Washington Latin Public Charter School. This is a school with a particular culture and a clear mission. We believe that all students deserve a quality education that goes beyond preparation and focuses on developing knowledge, understanding and humanity.  Ours is a school where words matter, ideas matter, and people matter.  We strive to help our students to become thoughtful people who will contribute to the public good and continue a lifelong quest towards a fuller humanity.
We believe that education is a training of character, and character is the intersection of intellectual development and moral integrity. We aim towards an ideal in our program: developing students to be thoughtful people who will contribute to the public good and continue a life-long quest towards a fuller humanity. Our program focuses on developing each student’s ability to be thoughtful, to consider the views and needs of others, and to act with integrity. The greatest challenge comes in our expectation that students will think before they act and do what is right rather than what is expedient.”

The administration, staff, students and families should not get pulled into the morass of DC politics that tears apart anything good that pops up.  Carry on, Latin.[/quote]
