[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Powell mom here with a student in the upper grades. I can tell you first hand that my kids has thrived. I love Powell, and the only reason we would leave is if we left the area.

To the OP, I say leave. Please. Do us all a favor and just leave. You didn't do the lottery because Docal was leaving because it was not announced until after the second lottery closed. You probably wanted Powell in the first place because it was an "it" school and the President showed up. Powell is a typical DCPS school and the way that we will continue to thrive is by having parents who are committed to making and keeping our school community great, not by having parents who play the lottery all the time and are looking to move on to the latest and greatest. You clearly have no commitment, you clearly don't care about changing your kids around whenever you feel like it, so just go. [/quote]

Oh please, she has no commitment because she even played the lottery? Dear, I bet more than half of every school (EOTP and charter) plays lottery each year for various reasons. Some for fun, some to line up middle school. Don't question someone's commitment because they even played the lottery. [/quote]

I can question the person's commitment all I want. How can you truly be committed if you constantly have one foot out the door ready to go? And it's not just playing the lottery, it's the "ho, hum, should I stay or should I go..." How is that commitment?[/quote]
