[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a CES parent, but our school has been invaded by Center kids (Chevy Chase) which added dozens of kids last year when we lost our 6th grade.  They comprise almost 60% of the school or more now. Reading about all of the extras your kids get makes my blood boil.  Meanwhile, local kids can't even have lunch together anymore because recess and lunch were split up.to accommodate your kids.  Our Principal could care less about the social emotion damage done to our kids who are sitting alone at recess.

And here you are worrying about your kids enrichment when local kids are not getting the attention they need from teachers and falling through the cracks.

This private school (Center) within a public school needs to end.  Hope you all realize how lucky you are at the sacrifice of the local kids.[/quote]

You are the poster who already complained vehemently about this situation at Chevy Chase. You were told to calm down, because lunch would be divided anyway, since there are three grades at this elementary, not the standard six. Thus the grades are more populated and can’t fit in the cafeteria.

As for enrichment, most of us wish this was the standard for all kids. Some of us have other kids who did not get in, we know the feeling!!!!  
So you don’t need to be so bitter and antagonistic. I enriched my son’s education at home when he did not get in, and now he is in a selective high school program.

Strategize for your long term goals instead of complaining. It will get you further.

Touched a nerve did I?  Not sure who the other posters are you are referring to but you think I am the only neighborhood parent angry about this situation then you are wong.   Far, far from it.  Try dozens of parents are mad.  So I don't have to calm down.  I have a right to voice my opinion and concerns for the kids who don't get all the Center extras and special attention.

Why is it so hard to have a lunch for the Center kids and a lunch for the Rosemary Hills/neighborhood kids?  It isn't.  The two never interact all day.  It is two schools in one school.  There is something like 19 schools feeding into CCES right now.

All the neighborhood parents want is for their kids to be able to continue to grow their friendships so when they get to humongous Silver Creek, they have a network of friends in uncertain time.

Why do you have a problem with local parents wanting that?  Center parents make a choice to come to our school for extra benefits.  Local parents don't have a choice between two schools.  I bet you have a kid in the center and one not so this whole lunch situation benefits your one kid to have it all.  But that is NOT the feeling among the vast majority of local parents.

Also why should ANYONE have to do their own enrichment at home.  You are unreal and in the minority. So entitled.
