[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Washington Latin isn't meant to be Boston Latin.

WL admits via an open lottery not competitive admissions.

Please just move to Boston already. [/quote]

I really don't understand the attitude of Latin parents. When you bring up a totally reasonable point of people shut it down immediately. Unless you fall all over self praising the school, you're in the wrong. It is not an academically rigorous school. I wish it was. [/quote]

I'm the PPP. It isn't the most rigorous school. But that isn't its mission. Its name is similar to Boston Latin because that's what the whack job who founded it chose. He was basically run out of town on a rail, and we have the school that Martha Cutts built.

If WL claimed to be the most rigorous school in the city, then your criticism would be fair. But it doesn't. So please stop measuring them against something aren't trying to be.[/quote]

Not being sarcastic or intending to be mean, legitimately trying to understand- then what exactly is the point?  It seems to me that it is a warm and fuzzy alternative to terrible DCPS high schools but is otherwise a very middle of the road choice.  Sorry if this comes off as insulting, it is not intended to be insulting at all. [/quote]
