[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why should dcps replace LT faculty?  If the only thing stopping rational LT parents from continuing enrollment at LT is fear of being an "only" it seems the only fix needed is up to the parents.  Your hang ups a all on you.[/quote]

The fear of being an only is only one problem among many.

The rundown school still has a ghetto feel in a neighborhood where homes sell for 500-900K.  Teachers (almost all AA) tend to  think in terms of serving low-income kids as their calling, while most of the little IB kids are high-SES kids and white.  You could do worse than start with a clean slate across the board if you want the school to serve a good chunk of a diverse IB population, as long as good teachers can choose where they land.  Or simply accuse parents of having hang-ups and keep LT 80% OOB and less than 10% white in a catchment area that's nearly 2/3 white.

I've heard many parents vow to stay to K and beyond for 6 or 7 years now.  Hardly anybody does.
