[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good question.

Apparently, a decade is long enough for any particular Hill DCPS ES to flip IF it's not Watkins.

Watkins is effectively owned by parents living in Wards 5, 7 and 8, many of them city employees.  Lots of these parents attended Watkins, see it as their by-right school, and won't let go of their grasp.  Looks like it will take a generation for this to change.

Oh miss me with the "flipping" talk. Nobody has a stranglehold on Watkins.  If IB parents want to enroll THEY CAN.  [/quote]

Yes THEY CAN, and they can also expect their children to be roughed up by little toughs as early as 2nd grade, and to be bored silly by 3rd grade if they're academically advanced.

Signed,
IB Parent who Bailed on Watkins

Really? So you vacated an IB spot, that then would necessarily be filled by OOB lottery, and you complain about OOB kids taking your IB spot? I know you are emotionally invested in this topic, but re you able to see how ridiculous your post is? [/quote]
