[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the skepticism about Wells is so tiring and cynical.  Why is it hard to believe that it might be on a good footing and be prepared to serve its community well? There is such skepticism that a school that isn't in the Wilson feeder can serve students well. I wish people who post these skeptical comments would instead put their attention toward supporting these schools -- give to an amazon wishlist, donate to the PTA, whatever.  it helps all of us if this new school succeeds.

It isn't being skeptical to want to hear from parents whose children are enrolled now, opposed to parents who aren't there yet. And btw I have donated, both to Wells, Whittier and Takoma because I am a neighbor. My own children are in high school now.[/quote]

that's wonderful.  I wish you were the norm in your support and your comments but my guess is you are not. perhaps I'm too sensitive -- in other threads people have really pushed back at families considering Wells or those who recommend looking at it because it's untested and they are openly skeptical about its possibility for success. I think the often negative tone of these threads makes me feel like every comment is a negative one on this site.  ;)

My point that some people are really skeptical that kids can get a good education outside of the Wilson feeder does still stand, and it's tiresome.  [/quote]

Take the long view. Change is hard. I've been at this in DC since 2004. [/quote]
