[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If 2015-16 was sort of GDS's version of "annus horribilis" the coming academic year promises to be much better. The school has dealt with last year's distractions. And hopefully DC sees the light and green-lights the campus consolidation and the exciting plans for Wisconsin Ave!

I hope so. But for this to be true, GDS must have done a lot of hard work over the summer. Not only working with the District and neighbors but also with parents. There is nothing magic about time off unless you take advantage of it. There is a huge opportunity for leadership to reboot. I believe they have one shot. Now. But if the same issues emerge, there will probably be a need for change. I don't necessarily blame the Admin entirely. There also needs to be some gut checking with parents and students about what is really productive input and what is not. [/quote]

That hasn't happened.  The hope appears to be that most of the people who were profoundly disillusioned by the administration's behavior last year have left and that those who remain can be driven out or bullied into silence.[/quote]

This year will be better.  The senior class is amazing, so even Ivy admits should soar.[/quote]
