[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]unreasonable to expect the TC principal to treat sucking up to a small group of parents who are on the fence about sending their kids to TC vs. private school as his primary mission[/quote]

I don't think anyone has suggested that he should do so (and we were discussing Mr. Sheman, not the principal of TC Williams).  A reasonable approach, as other posters have described, would be to highlight the many offerings that TC Willams has, and state that ACPS hopes that parents will consider the school in light of them.

Oops; do know he's the ACPS Superintendent, not the principal of TC.  Multi-tasking and all that.

I was, in fact, the poster who suggested the "reasonable approach" for Sherman to take that you ascribed to other posters.   If Sherman is basically blowing off some parents, based on the assumption that they will go private no matter what he has to say, shame on him, but that's not my impression as to the message ACPS is currently trying to convey.  My impression is that ACPS is trying to differentiate TC from private (and other public) schools in a way that actually registers as authentic with most parents.   That seems obvious, but historically it is not something that ACPS has done very well.   [/quote]
