[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]W-latin is the bastion of over-extended white parents of odd, somewhat bright children. For the most part it seems, the parents can't afford private, but can't stomach the idea their delicate snowflake amongst the more "urban" hoi-poloi of Deal. It is self selection, indeed. The school seems chaotic, pretentious and ridiculous and on the verge of collapse.[b] I would never and thankfully, do not need to consider it an option. [/b] [b]But then, I think charter schools are a boil on the collective arse of school funding.[/b] *yawn*[/quote] Good thing! Why would anybody want you when you obviously have no idea what you're talking about? Washington Latin is a racially diverse school, which even a visit to the website would have demonstrated. The Head of School, Martha Cutts (who used to run the National Cathedral School), has an excellent track record as an administrator. For example, despite the challenges of being less than five years old, Washington Latin is already the highest performing school in its category on the DC-CAS. Without the outpouring of resources which a school such as Deal has received, Washington Latin has nonetheless managed to outperform it and offer a higher bar in public education than its competitors. Congratulations Washington Latin! Both on being the best public (and better than many private) middle school in the city - and still managing not to attract the ugly troll who wouldn't consider WL as an option. Double triumph! There's a very good reason your tax dollars are going to continue to fund excellent charter schools in Washington DC: they're continuing to raise the bar and outperform their DCPS competitors. :D [/quote] zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.[/quote] Ok. I'm zzzzz and sine qua non poster. That is bully for WL. And it really just fine that people who choose it are happy with it. Your almost religious zeal is off putting and weird, btw, and I regret having stirred you up. Carry on.[/quote]
