[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a mean-spirited and useless thread this has become. I've been very active in a DCPS Hill ES PTA for a decade now. I stop by DCUM once in a while and can't remember a nastier and more pointless Hill-related "discussion." So glad we're in a position to go parochial for MS. I'm fed up with the phenomenon of Hill PTA leaders supporting myopic DCPS decisions where making by-right schools work well for all in-boundary comers goes, with endless rounds of bullying, name-calling, shaming and arm-twisting of neighborhood parents in the mix. Parents and school system leaders are still pulling in different directions after all these years, especially on the neighborhood MS improvement front. There lies the mediocrity of most of the outputs, and future outputs. The ugly dynamic is a recipe for terrible inefficiency in the face of increasingly favorable local demographics. [/quote] If you're tired of that, I would not recommend a catholic school. Best of luck. [/quote] Not the person you're responding to, [b]but who asked you[/b]? Many of us who've been on the scene for years and years are fed up. Professional parents still leave the Hill all the time in search of better public schools in the area. I'd wager that most of the current crop of preschoolers won't be around for 6th grade, let alone 12th. We have a real problem with our by-right Hill middle schools and high school - most parents don't find these programs acceptable and change has been really slow. [/quote] Not the poster to whom you are responding, but the person who posted an opinion on a public forum did, you nitwit! Just so we understand your thinking on this, your thoughts on these matters are worthwhile and should be shared (along with your responses to other's posts) but others who post and disagree with you should not or do not have the right to post?
