[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am stunned by the comments on this thread.  I am a teacher at Ludlow.  We are welcoming to ALL students.  That is what this is about - the kids.  Most parents at the school are impressed by the gains made by their students while at LT.  If parents have difficulty with low-SES, OOB, or AA students in the classrooms learning alongside their children, perhaps another school would suit their needs better.  Research has shown that integrating lower SES students into higher SES environments increases the achievement of the lower SES students while having no effect on higher SES students.  It is our responsibility to ensure achievement for all students, regardless of gender, race, income level, religion, or disability.  LT is welcoming to ALL children - and this is ultimately what we are discussing; CHILDREN.  All of them have talents, abilities, potentials, and beauty.  ALL OF THEM.

I find it troubling that people are posting these divisive and hurtful comments. I am incredibly proud of our school, our teachers, our tireless efforts, our parents that give everything they can to ensure the growth of their kids, and our principal who insists that our first priority is teaching every child.  Not just IB students, not just higher SES students, and not only non-AA students.  ALL children.  I love LT and how it has enhanced my life - personally and professionally.[/quote]

I think we should listen to the teacher and ignore the slander and ignorant ranting plaguing this blog.  Just because someone had a child that went to LT for a couple years does not necessarily mean he or she understands how the school is run.  A teacher clearly has much more insight on that.

Also, until you have spoken to someone you cannot call them "white friendly" or "AA friendly" ( I am a terribly horrified that these terms are even in use), and Principal Cobbs is welcoming and dedicated to ALL children so stop putting words in her mouth.
