I think you must be representing more of the newer parents at Brent, not the parents who started Brent Neighbors nearly a decade ago.  Or maybe your own feelings.  My peers and I with older in boundary kids DO NOT share this attitude.  No one wants a majority of academically or socially struggling kids to make the class all  about remediation--that isn't good for anyone.  [b]But  the early Brent Neighbor people valued/value a well-rounded and diverse school that represents the city we live in as a whole.[/b] That is simply the truth.

[b]I don't hear much from the Brent IB parents of toddlers[/b] about a diverse school representing the city as a whole.  I hear about the school representing the neighborhood, where they've bought homes in the 500-900K range, as a whole.

Sounds like that's all that the LT parents want.  Shame on them for wanting their property taxes to support a true neighborhood school in a city that hasn't jettisoned the concept.

You just juxtaposed the two different groups of parents--the early Brent Neighbors and the current Brent parents of toddlers. The problem with the L-T neighbors is that they want what the Brent toddler parents want, without the benefit of the work done by the Brent Neighbors. See the "relative deprivation" post above.
