[quote=Anonymous]It's not just about SH, which is mediocre at best. It's about Watkins. It's also about having 10, 11 and 12 year olds adjust to new school cultures and social dynamics twice over a two-year period. Also, the proposition that Ludlow-Taylor and JO Wilson were perceived by the Cluster as a better fit than Brent because of academics is laughable. Rhee and Henderson wanted to use Brent families as a pawn to jump start the rebranding of Jefferson as an "academy." Sending a bunch of white, high-SES Brent kids to SH with a bunch of white, high-SES kids from the Cluster is not politically palatable, particularly if it would mean displacing lower-SES kids from Wards 7 and 8 who attend Watkins and Ludlow-Taylor. Tommy Wells didn't have the muscle or cojones to do anything to advance the ball and DCPS didn't deliver on its promises to the Brent community.[/quote]
