[quote=Anonymous][quote]They want the school to succeed only because it will help their property values. It looks good on the real estate blog and local elementary within walking distance, that's the spin.[/quote]

That's just mean-spirited on your part.  I live within a couple of blocks of both Seaton and Garrison, and don't send my kids to either.  I applaud Ann, and her dedication to the school is without any ulterior motive.  I think what happens is that parents of PK3 kids go in really energized and ready to take on what they believe that parents like me never bothered to do, and what they learn is that their ability to change a school is very limited.  This is where you get attrition in the older grades.

I would be overjoyed to see both Seaton and Garrison succeed, because it would be great for future families to have neighborhood options that would do great things to pull the community together in one school, rather than what we have now with all of the many kids traveling all over the city to their other public options.
