[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MV is different from your "not popular DCPS" school because they actually have goals and aspirations:  Dual language literacy, sustainability, etc.   Yes, there are various growing pains and issues but in less than 3 years they will have 400 students housed in a new $13 million leed certified building.  The leadership has a vision unlike the typical DCPS which is a race to the bottom.  The leadership also is not arrogant and is willing to listen to parents.

Vision does show in the attitudes of the staff, teachers and students.  The free market speaks loud and clear about why your DCPS is not popular.[/quote]

Look, I don't really have an ax to grind here, but you're still not saying much of substance here.  My "neighborhood" school (which actually is located much further away than Mundo Verde is from where I live, but that's another issue entirely) also has a vision, is not arrogant and appears willing to listen to parents.  The staff were also much more welcoming and accommodating when we toured than those we met at an overcrowded open house at Mundo Verde.  And, when I said that I didn't see much difference -- I guess I did.  The teachers at my "neighborhood" school showed more enthusiasm, energy and experience in the classroom than anything I saw at Mundo Verde.  The difference is that the DCUM demographic send their kids to MV or strive to, and that they have dual language and a green focus, as I said previously.  [/quote]
