[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I meant that there are people now who, upon hearing someone say that they're excited to go to their low performing local school, go out of their way to tell the optimistic parents how once upon a time, they were optimistic too, but no one ever stays, because nothing can be done. The person I'm thinking of goes out of her way to mention how she wished she'd moved or tried the lottery for other schools, because trying to be part of improvement at our school was a waste of energy. [/quote]

This exact situation happened at my school. A bitter former parent basically told all the new parents under a new administration that she once was optimistic too and remembered how that optimism quickly dissipated. I really think she is rooting against success at the school because she isn't there.[/quote]

Hmm I wonder if we're in the same neighborhood.  I learned the bitter parent is moving her kid on to yet another charter school next year.  [/quote]

No, the person I am thinking of didn't move to a charter. Not surprising that there are a lot of bitter former parents out there, I guess.[/quote]
