[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so disappointed people use their energy boosting their very mediocre schools instead of demanding more. Dcps has the funds to do it.  Demand more and advocate for your kids. [/quote]

How about the person in this thread who has been spending a tremendous amount of energy trashing a particular school and the students who attend it? Is that helping make DC schools better?

How do you know parents with children attending the school aren't advocating for more? Seems way more likely to be effective than people aimlessly yelling about it from the outside.[/quote]

I think you’re talking about me and as a reminder I said a lot of critical things about several schools including Stuart Hobson. Here’s more criticism: teachers at basis don’t seem to be hired based on their ability to teach they seem to be hired on their knowledge on the subject. This hurts students. Overall a great place for super motivated students.  Latin is not rigorous enough for top performers in my opinion. Does a FANTASTIC job getting kids up to speed. DCI really takes care of the kids at the top and the kids at the bottom but is lacking when it comes to the kids in the middle. Truth is so great if your kid loves chickens and independence and ok with absolutely not remotely meeting children’s needs. Stuart Hobson is a better choice than Truth in my opinion and is located close to a metro. [/quote]
