[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Turned down--wait for it--LAMB for Bancroft. We wanted a neighborhood school.[/quote]

I think that's awesome!  How is Bancroft working out?[/quote]

New poster. We also chose Bancroft over LAMB. It's working out great.

Not sure what the other PP's point was about visiting the playground during aftercare.

I know what the point is; I've also been to that playground during aftercare. You get what you pay for -- cheap aftercare. Kids are unsupervised, throwing bottles, acting badly. [/quote]

This is untrue. Are you a Mt P resident at a charter? If so, maybe someone (not me) ruffled your feathers up thread by making a comparison that you didn't like. That's not a reason to say mean and untrue things about your neighborhood school. I do have to set the record staight and say that I haven't seen this scene you describe. Sure, aftercare can always be better and the school is working on adding more enrichment options. But there are already some good options, and the kids are supervised and well taken care of.

I don't want this to be a DCPS vs charter thing.... but I have not witnessed anything like this. I am with my boys on the playground after school frequently and it is a pretty good group of kids and parents - the kids play well together (the odd disagreement but...they are kids!) and they even look out for each other. My boys are sometimes in aftercare and although it isn't a fancy program, I think that there is enough supervision - they have fun. Parents, the school and the community are working together to add programs after school - there is momentum. [/quote]

Yes, you are right. I take back my charter comment, sorry. I just wanted to set the record straight. Thanks for your post. I agree!
