[quote=Anonymous][i]I agree that most in-boundary families haven't been thrilled with Ludlow-Taylor, but a big part of that is breathtaking arrogance and a culture of what can truly be described as well-poisoning on the part of some neighbors. Nowhere else in the city have I witnessed such an unbelievable attitude of entitlement as the in-bounds L-T gentrifiers. Hopefully the renovation and a new principal, coupled with a decision on the future of SWS, will help the neighborhood unite behind their school.[/i]

I don't hear entitlement, I hear frustration that L-T has lagged far behind Maury on various levels, and that in-boundary parents can't do much about it.  Nothing unbelievable there.  I don't expect the neighborhood to unite behind "their school," since few neighbors approach L-T with a sense of ownership, but do expect more in-boundary parents of little ones to try the early childhood program under new leadership.  On our block, there are a dozen families with ES-age children and none has stayed at L-T past prek.  Many hoped to, and worked to, but none did.  If the new principal can convince most in-boundary parents that they can't do better than L-T, with or without lottery luck, perfect.  Yea!!!![/quote]
