[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, I'll be honest - every few years or so an organized parent starts a push to get a working group going on middle schools (YAY!) and then they either get into a charter, where real education is happening, or move to MD/VA.

Seaton is a great school.  Go for it, and keep trying to get into a charter program (like most of your ilk).  Around 2nd grade you will either move to Ward 3/Ward 9 or go charter.

Thanks.  I really doubt that we'll physically move in 2nd grade-- we only just bought our house this fall so that would only give us 3 years.  Charters are on our list but it seems awfully hard to get in to any that are close by.

If there were a group of people working on middle school issues, I would join.  I believe you that it has failed in the past but I'm still willing to put in some time.  Lots of things fail before they succeed, right?[/quote]

Get off DCUM and join Ward2Ednetwork or Kids in the triangle

Lots of younger parents whose hopes and dreams of good education in DC haven't been crushed under years of DCPS lies.

Best of luck.[/quote]
