[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The general tone here re: SH pretty much sums up why we can't seem to get together a proper feed from Brent to SH. And it goes back YEARS.

SH PTA gives the signal that Brent students aren't welcome ( I.e we are already full, you all are too white, you are playing shady games and are nasty )

Then, Brent parents say "that's ok, SH isn't good enough yet anyway. Or cool...but we have some other options that could be good."

And then SH PTA screams in full indignation "what??? You don't want SH? We ARE good enough. Aren't we good enough for you snobs?"

It's not an easy relationship. And in a way, no wonder DCPS doesn't touch it.  But really the two groups need some neutral and non-judgemental leadership to work it out. Charles Allen?[/quote]

Your inaccuracies are staggering. There is no SH PTA, only a Cluster PTA. Anyway, what you assert the PTA saying is specious. I never heard anything of the sort on the Cluster PTA and LSAT. The PTA has encouraged Clemens on these neighborhood outreach missions. There is plenty of blame historically to dole out to both Brent and Cluster advocates on feeder patterns. The Cluster chose to advocate LT and JOW as feeds at a time when their scores were higher than Brent and Maury. A former Brent PTA president was trying to encourage the feed to Jefferson academies. It all goes into the mix.[/quote]
