[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow PP. Not a Maury parent, but your attitude is alarming. I do live in th neighborhood and know of some committed parents who are sending their children to Eliot-Hine. It takes people like that to change a school, and I'm impressed at their tenacity.

As far as your comment about "getting the popcorn", it is neither cute nor original. [/quote]

Committed parents or parents without decent options?  Eliot-Hine's PARCC scores were the worst on this side of the river, in the single digits for proficiency.  Total disaster.  [/quote]

+1.  A few parents drawing on their reserves of tenacity is not a remedy and will not change a school.  Then there's Eastern.  What's the point?[/quote]

I never understand posts like this.  [b]What do you want to see happen?[/b]  Is it for everyone to move WOTP/the burbs or pray for a handful of charter spots?  [/quote]

Easy.  Get Bowser, the city council and DCPS to commit to renovate E-H from top to bottom within two years, and allow Brent to feed in.  Then create a full honors classes there, not just grade level classes branded as honors class, as at Stuart Hobson.  Then have E-H teach all the tough subjects, and offer all the enrichment, Deal does, e.g. Arabic, Mandarin and 7th grade algebra, along with Deal-quality extra curriculars.  Done.  [/quote]

Not sure Brent families would find this all that enticing.  If there is an option to leave DCPS after 4th for charters or private then it's a done deal as far as they are concerned.  Henderson isn't going to be interested because she seems to think that Brent students are the rising tide that will lift Jefferson.  Some of us actually remember the Ward 6 Middle School Plan and Henderson's promise to address middle school issues in FY15.

FY15/Year of middle schools --> Brookland Middle and part of MacFarland opening next fall. Oh and study abroad for 8th graders.

While people on Capitol Hill don't like their MS options, at least you have them.
