[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know what, having gone through this process three times now and familiarized myself with many of the charter schools and the DCPS website/schools, I feel that I'm qualified to offer the same services.

I certainly seem to know more than any of my kid's teachers or others who work in these schools.  (Which is frustrating and annoying, in itself.)

But, you know what, so do most of the people who read this board. You have to know and understand the system inside out.

Is there some magic tip that Ms. Downey knows that I don't?[/quote]

No. I think she is only useful for those who know nothing.[/quote]

I'm going to disagree. Full disclosure, E.V. is a long-time friend, and I am not her promise nor am I her other colleague. I did tell her about this thread so she may respond. I've only ever consulted with her on special ed issues and don't have the experience with her DCPS/DCPCS lottery sessions.

I will tell you that E.V. does visit all the schools she can to find out first-hand information, compares data and distills it to manageable categories for people. It may shock you but not that many people actually know about DCUM, and many are wary of info. from parents in 1 or 2 schools as it may not be complete or be biased.

She is Hill-based, no doubt. From what she has told me, she really thought her main business would be about private/special needs placements. The DCPS/DCPCS demand kind of took her by surprise. She does have the big sessions that I think are only like $10 if you want to test her out. [/quote]

The group sessions are more like $40 IIRC.  [/quote]
