[quote=Anonymous]Well said, 12:47.  18:05, 6 years ago no one went to Ross, now it is a decent alternative and a fairly solid neighborhood school.  I believe it is possible to change a school grade by grade if I think the underlying infrastructure is good.  I believe that schools like Tubman, Cooke, and Reed have good proactive principals who welcome change and who are working with the parents to make positive changes.  This is a far cry from the old days of DCPS where principals actually actively opposed change and discouraged rich folks from attending.  If Rhee did nothing else, she did create a culture of change and flexibility in her new principals.  Not all have succeeded, but I am encouraged by what I see in the neighborhood.

If the teachers are sound and committed, and the principal is accountable to the parents and is energizing and motivating the teachers, then I am willing to reinvest in my neighborhood school and watch it change grade by grade.  I firmly believe that the seeds of change are there; all we need is to diversify the student body.[/quote]
