[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m raising my eyebrows at the forgotten history and work done at Langley before the “original gangstas” came.

This is exactly what gentrification is to the person who said it wasn’t gentrification. [/quote]

Some people just never knew the history, they might not have been paying attention to schoolw before havig kids.

I don't think anyone would say it isn't gentrifying, but I find it interesting to look at the changes in more detail.  It isn't just very low income and very high income people in DC.  There are lots of ways to examine the data.[/quote]

Nope. If they were truly trying to become a part of the community they would have stood on the shoulders of those who came before them. From what I’m reading here, from people with experience, this group considered themselves the reason why the school “is getting better”. Recognize and celebrate those that have come before you and don’t act as those you are a savior.

Also? Gentrification doesn’t mean poor and wealthy. It means changing something to be more acceptable to the middle class. [/quote]

Someone literally JUST gave an overview of PTA history praising those who came before.  Did you read it?[/quote]
