[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would always want the principal of my kids' school to send their kids there as well. The policies would be good enough for his/her kids as well and I would imagine their kids would give them honest feedback about how things are running. [/quote]

+1. She's the freaking principal, not a politician. What's the big deal about her kid going to the school where she works? [/quote]

Because government employees shouldn’t get special treatment at the expense of other citizens. The issue isn’t whether a principal could or should send their kid to their school. By virtue of her position, this principal had access to the chancellor, asked a favor, and the result was something no other citizen got. That seat could have gone to any number of needier or more deserving kids. DC principals make over $150 grand a year. Go rent an apt in Nw if you want to attend Wilson[/quote]

So dumb.  I grew up in Howard County.  My mom was a principal in Anne Arundel County.  I had the option to go to her school in Anne Arundel County.  It's pretty standard stuff.  Get over yourself.[/quote]

Perhaps that was the AAC rule.  In DC, however, we have principals who live in MD who have gotten their kids into DC schools.  It's not allowed, but it is the old DeeCee way.  As Marion Barry used to say, to the victors go the spoils.[/quote]
