[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The IB waitlist for PK3 and PK4 and the Principal allowing his teachers OOB kids to enroll in PK3 has divided the community. [/quote]

What's the point of attempting to reopen a banal debate about principal discretion?  I mean, wasn't this very topic beaten to death in its own thread a couple of weeks ago?  Unfortunately, it seems you just dont get it.  Brent is all about building a community of families, which should include teachers and their families.  I might very well be pissed if my child didn't get in, even though I knew full well that the number of IB students was going to exceed the number of spaces available.  But life is unfair and it's time for you to move on.  The fact is that it is remarkably difficult to attract and retain highly-effective teachers like those now at Brent.  If the cost is a couple of preschool or PK spaces from time to time, then so be it.  In the meantime, perhaps you can reach out to the Rev. Jesse Jacksom to see if he can heal this purported divide.  Better yet, just have the balls to stand up and say sometimg at the next PTA meeting, as opposed to trying to stir the pot anonymously on DCUM by singling out some three-year olds who happen to have a parent who teaches at the school.  It's cowardly and shameful. [/quote]

+1.  Another idea, you voice your issue with teachers' kids at the school on the Brent Neighbors listserv, using your name.[/quote]
