[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing is changing.  They continue to get the best courses and resources and the other schools get the minimum.  [/quote]

What resources do the Ws get that other schools don't?  I think the biggest difference in the schools is the parent community/cohort.  And, lower income schools receive additional resources from the federal government[/quote]

Yeah, WJ has for years been the most overcrowded school.  And they didn’t advertise it but when they were having all those problems with bathroom access it was because McPS only gave them about half their allotment of security guards.  Admin had to go back mid year and make a big stink just to get th usual per student allotment and I’m not even sure they go that.  [/quote]
Poverty few high schools have bathroom access. [/quote]

Oops, very[/quote]

I understand it's an issue everywhere but it was particularly bad at WJ a year or two ago.  There were days that they had one boys room open -- for a school that has 1500 boys.  One day my kid spent 20 minutes walking from hall to hall and up and down stairs looking for an unlocked bathroom.  That's when I went to complain and they told me that they were pushing to get additional security officers.  They told me the numbers at that point but I don't remember them -- but they had something like half of their supposed allotment.  
And they've had things like dead rats in the hallway as well.  
I think some parents think it's all shangri-la at the W schools, but they have a lot of the same under-resource issues.  [/quote]

That’s normal. My kids have each called me in desperation to get them as they couldn’t find an open bathroom. [/quote]

best way to fight this kind of crazyness is leaving bottles full of pee all over the place... if that doesn't work, forget the bottles[/quote]
