[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m confused about the schedule part of this. Are all schedules usually finalized by now? What about the summer? I feel like under Cooke’s during his first or second year we didn’t know anything about our schedule and teachers until about five minutes before school started and a couple of teachers were hired to fill vacancies months into the school year. This all predated the 90 minute block class mess of course—which PJ inherited. Along with the terrible budget. [/quote]

Exactly. But we are dealing with a system that choose politics over kids and took the easy way out and not say NO to the bullies of upper NW. [/quote]

I find it interesting how at a school with 60% BIPOC students, people are assuming it’s only “rich white parents” who wanted the change. That has not been the experience at all in my DCPS - and it’s a frequent (and dare I say racist?) assumption that only white parents have opinions on school issues. [/quote]

It is well known that small ground s of privileged parents often take over schools and do exactly what was done at Hardy. White parents are not the only one that have opinions however they are often times the only ones DCPS really listens to. I am sure the parents over at schools that are 99-100% Black want safe schools and have petitioned DCPS. Nothing is done. Their children are forced to go to schools where students are being shot, massive gang fights, high teacher vacancies, etc. When the parents write letter and protest nothing is done. Radio Silence.
