[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most depressing SH thread either, nearly 300 posts and little to give us hope that the school would work out for our excellent in-boundary 3rd grade student (both math and ELA) in a Hill DCPS.  Getting involved at the school doesn't sound worth it.

Pretty much all of the Hill threads end this way.

Until Hill parents stop acting ridiculously entitled, selfish, and clueless, they will all end this way.  I for one wish we could just ban discussion of Stuart Hobson  and Watkins on here.  Everyone who thinks it is doom for their snowflake - move to Arlington.  Everyone who actually wants to give it a go - get to work.  [/quote]

a lot of families are doing just that.  I suspect it's the charter boosters who feel obliged to bash anything and everything about SH, as well as Eliot Hine and Jefferson.  It helps them rationalize their weak commitment to true public education.[/quote]

Basis and Latin aren't neighborhood schools either.  Much of the criticism of SH and its feeders centers around lack of IB buy in.  That's a weak argument that Hill families want an IB schools that works for them but barring that the citywide charter across town is just fine.

Some families at our IB school relentless boost charters to other parents and constantly neg on the Hill schools, often exaggerating strengths or ignoring weaknesses ('oh BASIS is great for kids with IEPs' or 'Latin has no disciplinary issues').[/quote]
