[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really despise how people use these school for free daycare or because your kid has a late birthday then bail as soon as they get a better option.  Have you stopped to think why the older grades aren't as appealing is partly due to the lack of respect selfish parents have for the school?  It's one thing to attend a school with a wait and see approach that hasn't always been historically sought after (formerly Barnard, now Powell etc), but it's another thing to enroll in a school knowing there is 0% chance you will be there longer than 1 month to a year.  I know you have the right as a tax payer to okay the system how you want, it just sucks.  I feel the same way about those who don't have an IB PK3 and use sought after charters for a year so they can save a few bucks.[/quote]

:roll: anyway....
it would be nice to meet up with other new parents especially as the warmth starts coming on spring wise. How could we make that work on anonymous dcum?park meet up?
Can't wait to exercise my option to enroll at this school or any school I chose and stay or go at said school depending on how it works for our family. That what ultimatley we all get to do despise it or not. [/quote]

Greedy, greedy, greedy...hope you never lotto anywhere else again.  Heaven forbid your kids be forced to go to school with poor black kids for 8 years![/quote]

crazy much? Heaven forbid indeed!
Don't you love it when you foist your judgement all over everyone and then get upset when no one is interested in your opinion? People are free to do what they want. yes even the poor and black can move or stay.... so can anyone that enrolls in a school. You get to make your choices and so does the PP. choices mean just that.
and newsflash... people are interested in the best choices for their children and for themselves. Those choices may include starting an educational program in a place that is convenient and then  moving after that. should people like you not like it, how about your take your kids and make great examples of them...poor and black classmates for everyone! because that will make it all better. 
signed, raised poor and black and doing just fine without your care[/quote]

Of course people have the freedom to do what serves them.  It's exactly that selfish attitude that contributes to the poor state of our educational system in the city.  I don't need to attend Hope as my kids have been in their IB school since day one (I'm not anti-charter, just making a statement).  If Hope is so bad as a school after PK then they should close or maybe consider becoming a pS/PK only school.  Otherwise, it seems like the funding continues to support a revolving door for PS and Pk kids.  Very similar to Potomac Lighthouse staying open to educate and bus MD students.
