[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know, but I think it has less to do with them being "a model" and more to do with being a school with a large population of UMC, highly educated parents, and an extremely well-funded PTO. What Brent is doing is simply not possible at other schools, and it actually just highlights the inequities in the system. Brent is also not a destination school for children from less well-funded or well-functioning IBs, since it is virtually impossible to get a spot at Brent unless you are IB. So another example of how the lottery does not actually distribute resources equally among the city's kids, but allows wealthy families to buy into "good" schools that exclude poor children.

Side note: a Brent parent once told me that "any school" could be like Brent if the parents just put in the effort. So if you are wondering if UMC white people still think their sh*t don't stink, the answer is very much: YES.[/quote]

Give s a break with your class envy drenched rant.  Brent has some teachers who've volunteered to teach in person, but not one for every grade as yet.  Good for Brent teachers when the WTU hasn't been helpful. [/quote]
