[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To 10:00, I understand what you're saying -- you live in the neighborhood and you want your school to reflect the neighborhood.  You didn't move to Ward 8, so why should your school be a Ward 8 school.  BUT, it seems to me that the only real way to address this is for all the IB families to actually send their kids to L-T.  Am I missing something?[/quote]

The crux of the problem is that the PG County parents aren't just OOB folk who drifted in, they're territorial about "their school," the one they attended as children.  They're a political force controlling the PTA, making getrifiers unwelcome, and embracing the idiot principal.  DCPS lets them A) stay, and B) block change neighborhood families dearly desire.  With so many new charter options and both the Logan Montessori and SWS expanding, no chance that IB LT parents will send their kids en masse.  Even die hard LT IB types worry about their kids bouncing between 2 or 3 elementary schools simply to reach the upper grades.
