[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wilson parent here. Wilson is OK but no great shakes. Roosevelt would REALLY have to improve the curriculum and hire some very impressive new staff to make it an option that I or anyone I know would ever consider.[/quote]

what about if some highly regarded wilson teachers and administrators were enticed to move over to Roosevelt.[/quote]

So, let's hurt Wilson by dragging away successful educators? Doubt Wilson parents would like that much. Or the teachers being forced to move.[/quote]

The word used was "enticed" not forced.  Teachers can't be forced to move into any school -- if they could, the DCPS plan to  place more "highly effective" teachers in "failing" schools would have been simple -- just move the teachers.

Teachers leave schools on their own all the time, just like any other employees  -- enticed by  what they perceive as a better situation somewhere else.  And a school like Wilson wouldn't have any trouble getting other good teachers to come in.    Current respected teachers at Wilson--  and other schools  --  might move to a new school for the opportunity to start their own program, to have a better lab or other amenities, to work with a principal and staff they think will be a better fit,  and for some, Roosevelt might be an easier commute.[/quote]
