[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]

[b]Do the professional educators, planners, administrators at DCPS have NO responsibility here at all? [/b] Are they completely let off the hook?  See, your plan for school improvement is unrealistic because we don't have to put up with dysfunction--people can live in their homes on the Hill and choose to go private, choose to home school or choose to go charter.  That's our right.  DCPS ( and you ) would like to pretend that is not so.  It is also our prerogative to discuss Stuart Hobson as much as we'd like.  Also our right.  That's reality. You ( and DCPS ) would do well to live in reality rather than thrown silly names at people and tell them to move.[/quote]

what do you want them to do?

make an accelerated high school program with IB? done. now some white/high SES people say they won't try it because the kids there don't score high enough on IB exams (though that's probably not the sole reason)

group all the richest/highest performing elementary schools into a single middle school? not going to happen. It would suck for the other middle schools on the hill, it makes no geographic sense, for a million other reasons, not going to happen.

solve generational poverty? good luck with that. too big an issue for the schools to handle themselves. [/quote]
