Go away race baiting troll. [/quote]

Not PP  and agree that race drives most of the IB bitching.  Be honest and about it and own it instead of the poorly coded BS about wards 5,7,8 kids in out precious neighborhood[/quote]

Here is what turned me off about Watkins:

(1) Parents reported teachers and staff yelling at students. 
(2) Parents reported teachers being uninterested in challenging students who were above grade level. 
(3) Parents reported advanced students having to do a lot of worksheets and self teaching while the teacher focused on the students who were behind. 
(4) The test scores are not good. [/quote]

My kids are in Watkins right now and all 4 of these points are greatly exaggerated.  If parents are interested, contact the principal and tour the school. Come multiple times so you can see what goes on for yourself. Don't rely on DCUM posters who are either reporting old stories, never had kids who attended, etc. Is it the perfect school and does it work for everyone? Of course not. But it's not the place DCUM describes.[/quote]
