[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wilson may be “diverse” but for the most part, the white kids and the black kids do not socialise together. There is some mixing but not as much as you would expect. I don’t think you can force this stuff. Also, the principal seems to hate that Wilson is supposedly a neighborhood school as she is always complaining  about all the entitled white kids. She keeps wanting to create more on-level (not challenging) classes for the lowest performing kids and has no interest in more advanced options for kids who need more than what Wilson is offering.[/quote]

Much of what you wrote is just not true.
Signed, current Wilson parent[/quote]

Another Wilson parent here and I don’t think it is wrong at all. Principal has communicated many times that she has no issues with overcrowding as she wants Wilson to be open to students from all wards. That is not her decision to make. [b]Wilson is supposed to be a neighborhood school[/b]. She often refers to the ward 3 parents as annoying and entitled. I don’t think that is cool. [/quote]

No, Wilson is supposed to comply with feeder and boundary policies set by our elected officials, which the schools is doing.  Nowhere is it written that Wilson is "supposed to be a neighborhood school."[/quote]

Also, in what context does the Wilson principal "often refer to ward 3 parents as entitled and annoying"?  I've never heard that, and I can't imagine in what situation I would heard that.  Did you just pull that out of your @ss?[/quote]

Nope. I read all her newsletters from August to December and she is always scolding the neighborhood parents. Do you read them? She pretty much said that overcrowding is not something she wants to do anything about as she does not want to reduce the number of AA kids at the school. Also, that other principals always tell her that they would never want to be at Wilson because of the annoying and hyper parents, etc. [/quote]

Why is she still around?  She has the views of some Barry-era relic even though she’s not from DC.  Didn’t she get her kid into Wilson by going around the lottery?[/quote]

Why was she even hired, given her lack of relevant experience?

The previous principal was the real deal. This is just one of Bowser's puppets--which explains it all.[/quote]
