[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As has already been pointed out, discipline becomes more of an issue as kids go up the chain at Brent because the curriculum is geared toward remedial education, vs. the advanced work most of the kids, who are high SES with professional parents, need.  Bored kids have a strong tendency to behave badly in class, space out, or both.

The principal shows little interest in taking the problem seriously, or even acknowledging it.  IMO, most long-time parents have been passive about pushing back.  The PTA and LSAT need to work to keep those who do challenge from being branded as pesky helicopter parents, and from burning out, and pulling out.  Also, Brent needs to develop ties to the JKLM schools to learn how to bend the DCPS curriculum and test prep culture to work for advnced kids.  Murch seems particularly adept at furnishing upper grades challenge.

I think you need to take your ax to grind to the school and off of DCUM. [/quote]

+1. Better yet would be for you to move to NW instead of just wishing you lived there.[/quote]

It may surprise you to hear that some of us have no wish to live in Upper Caucasia.  Perhaps we're gluttons for punishment with the middle school situation and all, but we've loved our decade on the Hill and would love nothing more than for Brent to try to up its game for other families once they hit First and Second Grade.[/quote]
