[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try convincing your neighbors not to go private. Methinks OP is mad b/c her kid didn't get into Sidwell and has to go to school with gasp FARMS kids instead of the Obamas. #firstworldproblems[/quote]

Or OP should convince more of her neighbors to go private so the IB school is less crowded.

Right now, the system allows people to apply OOB.  It's easier to fill out the lottery application than to work on an IB school.  (not to mention, what kind of work would actually have a marked quick/immediate impact? If I gave $10 million to my IB school tomorrow it could do a lot, but most of the kids who go there would still have parents who were young, had limited educations and work histories, and other barriers.  Most kids would still be below grade level and many have been exposed to traumas many DCUM readers cannot even believe.  That's not something that changes overnight).

If you think your school is too overcrowded, why don't you work on [u]your[/u] own school by getting the principal and chancellor to cap class sizes, build an expansion, or shrink the boundaries?  [/quote]
