[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is worst-case scenario for Miner because now there is absolutely no reason for current IB families or DCPS to invest effort into improving Miner, if the cluster idea is still on the table and a working group is coming. But if you have school age kids now, or even have kids staring PK in the next few years, the incentive to look elsewhere for school has never been higher because who even knows what is happening with Miner?

I'm sure Maury families are happy but I think Miner got screwed in this process. The upshot for the school is that everyone focused very hard on how much it is failing and how no one wants to go there for several months, and now it will be left to its own devices for the next 3+ years. Great.

What a total WASTE of everyone's time and energy. The DME could not have screwed this up harder if he'd tried.[/quote]

I can’t quite tell what DME is really saying with this. Is it that they still want a cluster but want to give everyone time to get used to the idea and stop bothering them about it? I’ll note that the current language is for the committee to explore “feasibility,” which seems to presuppose desirability.  Or is it a way to save face while basically giving up this idea?

I think the committee is a waste of resources that would be better used to work on whatever is going wrong at Miner. I am also opposed to the cluster and not looking forward to sleeping with one eye open through 2027. [/quote]
