[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is our 4th year at Hearst. The pros are small school, nice new renovation, green spaces.

However there are a lot of issues.
The removal of birthday and Halloween celebrations is really unfortunate. Also last year they reduced the window where you could drop off your child in the morning from 8:15 to 8:30. That made a huge difference for a lot of parents. The PTA has plenty of cash on hand but got rid of one free enrichment class per kid per year.

The aftercare program is horrible. There is no oversight when kids are on the DPR controlled playground. One day they couldn’t find my child — and that was the last day we enrolled her at Innis.

Also there is always a lot of finger pointing betwee. Hearst administration and DPR about facilities because HEARST does not control the outdoor spaces. No shade on playground, rat infestation, unsafe play structure conditions, light timing off due to daylight saving are just some of the issues that have come up lately.

Most of the communication from the principal and teachers is about discipline problems. Now that I have a child at another DCPS school I can see that Hearst has a long way to go.

It just seems like Hearst is chipping away at all the things that made it attractive in the first place.

Oh, I just remembered they also did away with the SEM program this year. Every month I just expect more bad news.[/quote]

Why all the hate on Hearst?  Stop trashing DC.[/quote]
