[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ Total BS.  Cobbs didn't want to deal with pesky uber educated middle-class parents living around the corner challenging her on this or that, including her refusal to consider pullout groups in the upper grades.   She never saw her job as building a true neighborhood school, explaining why so many in-boundary parents have privately cheered her departure.  Good riddance.

I'd be surprised if the new principal cares what's posted here.  They aren't paid to attract or retain in-boundary families.

I'm just an outside observer curious about why this string is still going.  It's like watching a train wreck.  You can't completely look away. Some of the posts are almost unbelievable--and sad.  Your response (as well as others) says to me--an outsider--that the former principal was dealing with some very difficult and very "entitled" forces.  I saw the test scores.  They couldn't be that high without her closing the gap to some degree. That's the sign of a good school and a good leader.  Some of you keep harping on this "neighborhood school thing".  My kids attend a Ward 3 school with a large population of OOBs kids.  We view ourselves as 1 community whether you're IB or OOB, black or white, top or bottom of the socioeconomic spectrum.

If you would replace your emphasis on neighborhood with an emphasis on community, then you wouldn't have all this nastiness.

Let me have your spots in that Ward 3 school and I'll give you my spots here on the Hill. Then you can act all high and mighty......[/quote]
