[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s one thing to criticize Mr. Weedon if his child was going to elementary or even middle school and he lotteries his child outside of his IB school. But the article makes it sound like this is what his rising high schooler wants. He should take his daughter’s opinion into consideration when making a choice about schools. That’s what a good parent would do even if it goes against your policy preferences. [/quote]

The article clearly indicated that his daughter would prefer Eastern:

"Malia — a confident, self-described nerd — said she would rather go to Eastern and commute by foot each day. "[/quote]

OMG. Good catch; I forgot that in all the posts. But didn’t she also say she worried about the education? [/quote]

Yes. It wasn’t a quote but the article said she wanted a row challenging academic experience than she had at EH.

She is the type of “limousine liberal” that is almost a parody. She went to a school like GDS in Chicago, then on to Harvard and Chicago and the non-profit world. And she’s white. Makes her living in the non-profit sector, go figure.

So, if the daughter wants to go to a school outside of their boundary, how does that make Weedon a hypocrite?  Are posters on here suggesting that he should force his daughter, a high school student, to go to Eastern to “keep it real”? Because that’s stupid.  And that quote from Malia just shows that’s she torn about being separated from her community school and friends but the rest of the article suggests she wanted to go to a more challenging school.[/quote]

What you’re missing is that Weedon did this, over and over again to others. [/quote]

I don't know Joe Weedon but he sounds just like someone we have WOTP - Rachel Laser. She lectured us on white privilege, white atonement, white fragility, "equity", and the supposed evils of tracking (i.e., honors classes), and then shoved the ludicrous "Honors for All" down Wilson High School's throat and wrapped it "equity" to squash discussion. To top it off, she sends her child to the $40k/year private Georgetown Day School (GDS) instead of Wilson which is akin to a super strong version of tracking. You can't make this shit up. These people have no shame.[/quote][/quote]

That is just so offensive. She sounds horrible.[/quote]
