[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our HRCS, teachers have actually applied to get jobs so that they could get preferential enrollment for their children.  [/quote]

Until they start and realize how that they don't want their children to go there.

The local HRCS had a teacher from the start of the school and said that she wanted her children to go there one day -- and then she quit. You get a new perspective of what is great when your own child would be in that environment.  Plus, it's ranked 1/10 on great schools despite having a high DC ranking  and one of the longest waiting lists. Apparently that teacher is now planning to send her children to a Montgomery County school with stronger academics, more organization, more teacher support, and less behavioral problems with all the advantages of diversity and being close to the city.

We don't go there but have friends who do and who like it but stories like these make me glad we live in bounds for a good DCPS option.[/quote]

That's too bad for your school, but it definitely doesn't apply to our HRCS.  These two teachers love the school.  They're keeping their child there.  One parent is staying at the school to teach and the other parent is moving to the middle school which it feeds and will teach there.  [/quote]

TMI really.[/quote]
