[quote=Anonymous]I was in the original group (I think I still am). I was initially pretty excited because I love French and would've loved to send my child to a French immersion school. I also recognized that the school would not be ready to go soon enough for my child to go there, which was a bummer but not a deal breaker.

As far as the dissolution of the group, I think that we should've met in person before trying to dive into a ton of detail about process, visioning, etc. It was too soon for those conversations, and having them happen exclusively online between strangers led to a ton of assumptions about people's motives and bruised feelings for whatever reason. I also think that the main reason that the meeting didn't end up happening was scheduling - there just wasn't a time that was good for everyone and it seemed like people felt that everyone had to be included that first time.

I spent some time reading all of Yu Ying's paperwork to see how they did it and recognized that it was going to be a lot of work. I wasn't necessarily opposed to working hard, even for something that wouldn't directly benefit my child, but it really seemed like there were some specific skill sets needed that I personally do not have.

All of that said, if anyone wants to restart the group, I would love to come to the meeting. I know a lot more about how education in DC works now (in both public and charter contexts).[/quote]
