Yeah, ok. But there is a reason these three are busy tweeting about their kid’s school choices. Seriously how many of us tweet out our kid’s school name and activities constantly. And pretty much no one else at Eastern doing that. Check the tags🙄

There’s an agenda/identity thing going on. If they were just casually sending their kid to school we wouldn’t be hearing about it on twitter.[/quote]

I am a little late to this thread, and may be speaking into the void here, but I wanted to offer a different perspective. There are great programs and good things happening at a lot of schools across the city - in addition to the few select schools that are always mentioned on DCUM.  As we know from this website, many people make decisions and assumptions about schools without actually knowing anybody at the school, and without any firsthand experience. What some may view as over-sharing may also be an effort to share their experience so people can make more informed decisions and avoid stereotypes/assumptions about schools.

Maybe. But there are also many, many people who have informed themselves well, done their research and rejected schools or programs or administrations on grounds that are patently not based in stereotypes snd assumptions.  I think you underestimate two things 1) the high level of desire and interest in having middle and high schools on Capitol Hill that function and high quality ( not the students—the grown-ups, the program, the curriculum) 2) the extreme level of dysfunction, chaos, abuse, unprofessionalism, ideologival malfeasance and incompetence that exists in middle and high school programs across DCPS.

You seem sweet, I wish you well.[/quote]
