[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is school choice in dc. Parents don’t want to drive across town for a decent high school. Homeowners in ward 6 are very interested in raising their home values by touting awesome schools nearby. Everyone wants eastern to succeed for selfish and not so selfish reasons. But the truth of the matter is that eastern doesn’t care about luring parents to their school. They’re content with doing the bare minimum and watching as Capitol Hill parents go elsewhere. That is a failure.  [/quote]

And everyone here who makes excuses for the school [b]and believes that the principal should only serve the kids at his schoo[/b]l contribute to that failure.

They can’t see the forest for the trees and the big picture.[/quote]

I mean, what ELSE is he supposed to do? Just imagine how outraged DCUM would be if a principal of a high-performing school spent a lot of time advocating for an at-risk set aside OOB for the school, or directing resources towards the bottom performers.  I don't even have to imagine, because I already know.

While it is true, and there are examples of, school principals making a concerted effort to get IB families to attend the school, it doesn't follow that a principal is doing something wrong to prioritize the kids *actually at the school.*  I'm not exactly sure how it worked at Hardy, but in the examples I know about on the Hill, getting IB buy-in was a family-led effort.

I think it would be HILARIOUS if Sah decide to focus on the kids he wanted to enroll instead of the ones currently enrolled at JR. The DCUM boards would light up with complaints about his focus being on social engineering and equity instead of serving the community enrolled. It would the the same posters now complaining that he isn't focusing on the not enrolled families. And they would see neither the irony nor hypocrisy.  [/quote]
