[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see anything wrong with "demanding"--we are the parents, these are our children. We only get one change to see them through school and we need to do right by them.  Historically DCPS has completely shut out the parents. Only since more parents, and more high SES families have gotten "demanding" have the schools seen real gains.   Quite frankly, I think DCPS should rate principals on the percentage of IB kids who actually attend the school.  If only 30% of your student body is IB then maybe that says something about the principals leadership.  They should be out in the communities to listen to parents to understand what is needed to keep them committed to neighborhood schools.  [/quote]. Oh horseshit.

Only since the demographics of dc have been changing have these measurable changes arrived.  And said demographic changes occurred for all kinds of reasons (recession, worsening traffic, post 9-11 govt job bloat).

It's an SES numbers issue, not because 100 parents inboundary for Brent "rolled up their sleeves" and planted an organic garden and funded an art teacher with PTA money. [/quote]
