On what do you base that dig on SWS ?  Look at SWS demographics, which are virtually identical to Brent's (city-wide draw or not).  Academic performance is tougher to compare as SWS doen't even have DC CAS testing grades yet.  I'm confident based on DIBELS and other anecdotal evidence that Brent and SWS will be rate comparably when it's an apples to apples comparison.

Let's not forget Brent is currently borrowing SWS's science teacher on a development assignment and is coopting it's early childhood Reggio approach.  Why don't you just stick to the topic at hand you troll.[/quote]

You are misusing "coopting.". Brent is not taking over the SWS ECE program.  The Brent ECE team decided to introduce a Reggio-inspired program last year and visited a number of programs in DC including SWS as part of the process of designing its own program.  Next year Brent Will have mixed-age ECE classes (10 four-year olds and 7 three-year olds) and likely will loop teachers (I.e., students will have the same teacher for two years).  You need to chill.[/quote]
