[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing that I have never understood is, if you know your kid will not attend (or likely wont because of timing)... and you are still advocating for the new school, why are you not also advocating for the existing school.

It just really bothers me that so many people want to help these future kids, but aren't willing to help the existing kids.[/quote]

Because the existing school is such a hot mess and its principal so hostile to the middle school that there is really little that can be accomplished.  Parent advocacy can't fix everything.[/quote]

For those bashing Cardozo, please relate your firsthand experiences with the school or sending your children there that made you conclude it is so terrible no kids should go there. In the meantime, can y’all stop pretending there’s anything other than racist and classist perceptions fueling this anti-Cardozo demand for a separate middle school in center city? [/quote]

Could it possibly be the rock bottom low test scores?  Or maybe that the proportion of kids living in the boundary who choose to attend is also super low?  Very few people of any race or class are willing to send their children to this school.  Why?[/quote]

So true. Out of all the MS in DC, Cardozo has the worst scores in the city. It has the lowest in-boundary student population too. It is just not good enough. No child, mine, yours, or current students, should be in a school that is doing so poorly.[/quote]
