[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because hrcs parents like to say they're not into test scores, man!

And then sneer and wring their hands at Powell/Bancroft/Tubman/Barnard et al. Because, I mean, have you seen the test scores? We're not into them, but pedagogy. Man. If you only educated yourself like I have, and learned how important these things are, you'd be doing Montessori unicorn immersion elvish with Larlito too.

Preach it sister. This is it. Test scores don't matter when your kids attend a hippy dippy charter school. Somehow it's an appropriate metric to gauge quality of neighborhood schools. Guess what, DCPS offers arts integration, montessori, dual language, you name it. These charter people who claim it's not the test scores, it's the programming options kill me. I don't see any of these same people enrolling their kids into Savoy or Langdon. Programming my ass.[/quote]

Your ass is the baby bust.  A few hundred of us got into good charters several years ago.  We had pre-schoolers, enrolling them in new schools when you were imagining about becoming pregnant.  You saw us and watched us and got excited and thought you could get lucky like we did: you and a thousand other couples in U Street or Bloomingdale or Brookland or "Hill North" or NOMA or some other neighborhood with cachet.  Now you're stuck with DCPS.  Jumped on the bandwagon too late.[/quote]

Why do you need to feel that other people envy you?  Because it's not that way at all.
