[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, you're not IB so why are you here? DCPS failed the neighborhood by not providing substitutes to cater to the neighborhood. And I don't think there's a minority complaining, but instead [b]a silent majority that's mad as hell.[/b][/quote]

Whoa, Tricky Dick Nixon and Howard Beale make an appearance!

DD attended [b]Watkins[/b] and we still have a plenty of friends on the Hill.  I don't recall any of this entitled, damn near colonialist attitude.  Nobody is going to roll out a red carpet for you.  Get in, pitch in and work.[/quote]

Pls don't compare LT to Watkins.  It's like comparing a shiny apple to souring grapes, respectively.  LT is a "Rewards" school, Watkins isn't.  You never had a kid at LT and don't even live on the Hill anymore.  Did you move away for better schools.  Why should we accept mediocre when we should easily have better, with a little help from DCPS?  PS If you think your work at Watkins accomplished anything, look at Iraq.

No one in this 43 page thread suggested that anyone accept mediocrity.  What you have been told repeatedly, ad nauseum, ad infinitum, is that you cannot change a school from the outside by screaming at the walls.  No one, not the mayor, not your CM nor your ANC cares about rants.[/quote]

Why should they care, when this issue will solve itself over the years?  Over time the areas that send the most OB kids will transform demographically to higher SES, won't they? At which point the entire dynamic will change.  There is a big difference between wanting to see LT transformed, and wanting to see it transformed in time to help high SES IB families with kids who will be reading for a K within a few years.   The Mayor and Councile have only limited reasons to worry about the latter, compared to their concern with the former. [/quote]
