[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^Over the winter, parents did bypass the Brent admin and PTA to start a campaign to beat back Latin instruction.  They won by convincing DCPS not to grant Young a waiver to teach a dead language half-time.  But the leaders, who organized meetings at their homes, had been involved in the school for years.

Parents of rising PreK3ers are tough to find and even tougher to organize in a neighborhood.  The rising parents who asked DCPS not to alter with Brent's boundary found this out two years ago, and they were permitted to meet at Brent.

It could be done, but it would be an uphill struggle.

I'm a current Brent parent.  I didn't realize this is why Latin was changed to Spanish.  I dislike the idea of a small group of parents going around the principal and trying to create new policies for the entire school with input only from their small number of like-minded members.  Not everyone thought the Chinese program should continue.  Not everyone thought Spanish was a better choice than Latin.  Not everyone thinks the school should be run by the parents.  There is a role for the principal. :roll: [/quote]
