[quote=Anonymous]Longtime SWS parent here -- Blaming the principal is a bunch of nonsense. When he and the other founding teachers started the school, it was as an effort to bring Reggio to the entire DCPS population, which was not perceived to be high SES white. Over the years, for whatever reason, the demographics have continued to get whiter and whiter -- not everyone feels that they can trust the Reggio model with it's lack of emphasis on early reading and testing and not all families have he means to do all the over-the-top volunteer work. The location is not particularly commute-friendly, to boot. If SWS leadership could choose their student body, it would be more diverse -- they would like to prove that this style of education works for all children. However, the lottery makes the population self-selecting. [/quote]
