[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Washington Latin has graduated 9 classes, this year will be its 10th: making a total of maybe 500 graduates in all?  An open enrollment charter school in DC—no test-in, no zip code required. I feel these college acceptances and the millions of dollars in scholarships awarded are worth celebrating and an accomplishment worth supporting and expanding.

All I care about when I’m choosing a school is how my high HHI non-URM kids are going to do. The low test scores are worrisome. And I’m not going to be impressed by admission and scholarship numbers unless these are non-URM numbers. That’s just an unfortunate side effect of affirmative action (which I support, but which makes Latin’s data hard to interpret). [/quote]

No one is trying to impress you, lady. They are answering questions. Since you like acronyms, I diagnose NPD from afar—here’s your checklist. But you seem to be functioning well despite this disorder, so do carry on. Perhaps elsewhere?

Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and the severity of symptoms vary. People with the disorder can:

Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance
Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration
Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
Exaggerate achievements and talents
Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
Believe they are superior and can only associate with equally special people
Monopolize conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior
Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with their expectations
Take advantage of others to get what they want
Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
Be envious of others and believe others envy them
Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious
Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office[/quote]

Well I guess it’s good that you’re not trying to impress me, because I’m not impressed.

Seems like a good option if you’re trying to escape Eastern, Dunbar or any number of terrible EOTP high schools, but if your kid can get into Walls, that’s clearly a better education. [/quote]

LOL. What???? This cements it. You have NO CLUE what your are talking about. Walls a better education? That will keep me laughing for awhile. Thanks.[/quote]
