[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. [/quote] Just come out and say it -- you don't like that Watkins' black parents behave like real stakeholders in their children's school and demand a real voice advocating for the school and their children even if the school sits geographically in a largely white community that wants their school to look like their community. That's the real issue to you. Replace South Boston in the 70s and you start to get the idea.[/quote] I’m not the PP, but my issue is that the administration acts like OOB parents are the ONLY stakeholders. [/quote]
