[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sela has so many problems, the least of which is not being appropriate for DCI. Guess that means I'm anti-Semitic too. Oh well.[/quote]

Sela does not have "so many problems," certainly no more than any other new charter or older charter (Shining Stars, Meridian, Washington  Latin, Yu Ying, etc). Sela has e.g., an active parent group, excellent teachers, a nice facility which will be made nicer by its new playground space, many happy students and families, etc. Sela like other schools hires real people, not robots, who have lives and the sick children, new children, etc. that go along with it. Their ED stayed for two years and he's staying until the new hire is onboarded. They had a principal who left for family reasons and a young teacher who both left very early in the year. Another teacher who struggled was replaced mid-year. Not that unusual in the charter world where teachers are given a shorter trial period than in DCPS. Time will tell if they even want to become part of DCI when their kids are old enough to matriculate (time will also tell if DCI succeeds). I have been at two public meetings where people asked Sela leadership about DCI and they all said the same thing long way off/we have a mentor relationship with these schools and will explore options as Sela grows. There are some wacky Sela bashers that have driven a lot of Sela parents of DCUM, some of whom are anti-Semitic. Other who just have no lives. [/quote]
