[quote=Anonymous]Part of the focus a few years ago from Rhee was to get all schools on the same grades. For example - Mann used to go through 6th b/c ..... no one goes from Mann to Hardy anyway so why not give the parents the flexibility to keep their kids in public 1 more year. Having all schools on the same structure provided less transitions and made it easier for the children. You might think it is no big deal - but for children who have any learning disability or anxiety, moving schools (even with the same cohort) creates a lot of stress and set backs. If DC really wanted to work through supporting the students at Hardy and Deal, they can get rid of the crazy new rule regarding if you move OOB that you have the right to stay at the school and the feeder schools forever; enforce IB residency requirements; hire solid leaders. Given our current Mayor and new Chancellor, I do not see that coming anytime soon.[/quote]
