[quote=Anonymous]I am hopeful about the elementary school, but have seen so many parents be cruelly disappointed after the early years (under the previous administrations) that I have to rein in my optimism and take a "wait and see" attitude. LOVE the comparison with Hunter. Here are my questions:

1. Suppose there's a child who is troubled (violent) as there was in the past. Will the administration act quickly to segregate this child and if necessary move that child to a special school, or will it take months and months of parent complaints? Yes, the violent child had an aide. 
2. Will children be able to parachute in from out of bounds? If so, how many? It's still a DC Public School, right? With empty floors?
3. How much turnover will there be among the teachers and staff? That will be a test--if people stay, that's a great sign. Time will tell. 
4. Let's watch the test scores. They're not everything, but they are something. Time will tell. 
Hoping for the best, expecting--well, better than before? 
It is new, untested model and I still can't figure out what the relationship is with the high school, which is a selective, test-in high school, but there's no reason why there can't be a hybrid model. See what happens to the kids who went through FS from K-8 and then don't get admitted to School Without Walls...
