[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is that Dual Language Program and everything Principal Brann is doing is working. People complain about older staff leaving? Good riddance! All you parents complaining about the school? You are part of the problem! Parents that don't see the value in another language are definitely part of the problem. If it negatively affected test scores is one thing. The crazy thing is it not only did not affect them negatively, test scores have risen! The more of you difficult parents leave, the better the test scores of the school become. The more of you leave, the less I see bullying in the school. The big problem Chisolm had has been close minded, stubborn, racist, and angry parents and the more of you leave the better the school becomes. And I hope they do make the middle school happen. Would be great. We need a middle school option that performs better than Elliot Hine and Jefferson, so we can all stop fighting to make it to Basis Middle School on a prayer.[/quote]

Test scores are rising as the school gentrifies. Switching to dual language only drives gentrification further. I do not blame Principal Brann one bit and agree with the PP that the split school was toxic and unsustainable, but this post is way OTT and doesn't make a ton of sense. The allegations of racism are especially weird given that white parents were very pro the switch to dual language whereas black parents were majority anti and the demographics of the school are moving in that direction.[/quote]
