[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound new.  Charles Allen is just one council member among 18 and has never shown much interest in ed reform (though he certainly talks the talk).

In your shoes, I'd try to lottery into Brent, Maury and Ludlow every year until I succeeded with one of them.  I'd try for Latin 1, Latin Cooper, BASIS and Inspired Teaching for middle school.

I wouldn't bother lobbying Charles Allen or lobbying pols.  We did that for years with fellow Brent parents and achieved nothing, other than launching an 60 million $ renovation of not-so-great Jefferson Academy (5 years later, still half empty).[/quote]

Charles Allen is sending his kid to SH next year. Having spoken to him at length on this topic, I honestly think he doesn't think there's an issue with Hill MS options. (He intentionally lotteried his kids out of Miner and into JOW/LT before moving IB for LT, so I don't think he's a IB-only true believer. [b]But I assume he will try to get his kids into a selective DCPS HS[/b].)[/quote]

His oldest kid is 10 years old. No 5th grade parents have any earthly idea where or what their kids will be doing in or at HS. You are simply adorable for not only knowing what a 10 year old will do in 9th grade, but  10 year old that isn't yours!!! [/quote]
