[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LAMB is a ward 4 school with headquarters on Missouri Avenue.

The entitlement to demand they be anything else or make up for the shortcomings of the entire DCPS structure is staggering.[/quote]

But they opened a campus in Ward 5 and accepted families from wards 6-7-8. These people add to the diversity of the school. Our children are entitled to continue their education at lamb and lamb has a responsibility towards them. I understand there is tremendous hostility towards this group of parents, but I don't understand why. They're not focused on killing the dream of a unified school, they just want to be able to send their kids there without uprooting everyone. [/quote]

There were families from wards 6-7-8 enrolled at back when Missouri Ave was the only campus too. [/quote]

And there was no help with transit.

Then the building on Missouri Avenue was moved to Our Redeemer church (basically in Mt Rainier) for 2 years, and no one got help with transit.

Then we all went back to Missouri Avenue. For a while until we had to move back to Ward 5 while they did more construction.

Through all these moves, there were families from every single ward at LAMB.

What has changed are family expectations -- and there is more competition now. But from Diane and Barrie Lynn's perspective, families figured it out before, and they assume they will figure it out this time too.[/quote]
