[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To summarize the possible approaches A. White folks, get used to a school with lots black/low SES kids, LT is fine, its got TEST SCORES, suck it up racists B. We can flip this school, if only we can overcome the prisoners dilemma - maybe we could all sign a pact to keep our kids in LT till 3rd grade at least? We could meet in a back alley with candles and swear on our ancestors honor? C. DCPS needs tp provide goodies - music rooms, gardens, stuff like that. And a pony. Because flipping LT is more important ot DCPS than building new middle schools EOTP. Or something. D. Its all about the principal. If the new principal is good, the upward spiral will start without much else Am I missing anything? [/quote] LOL! Sorry, wrong. Now, are there are any other options I missed? ^^^ DCPS troll. One bureaucrat who needs to get off the taxpayer dime because he's not a public servant.[/quote][/quote] If you're the same sockpuppet as before, I'm going to report your race-baiting rubbish. Troll.[/quote] Let me rephrase it to better meet your standards (though I think the snark was quite justified by the thread) Here are the four takes on L-T 1. Its fine as it is. If some IB parents see how good it is, that's great, but if they don't that's okay too. Lets hope the new principal does not change it. 2. Making LT a school attended by more IB children is a worthy goal. That can be accomplished by IB parents willing it, and commiting somehow to all attending long enough to overcome the prisoners' dilemma that makes that difficult 3. Making LT a school atteneded by more IB children is a worthy goal, but requires more than parental will. DCPS should provide the kinds of improvements needed to attract IB parents - even if those improvements are not requested by current LT families 4. Makign LT a school attended by more IB children is a worthy goal, and the mostly likely path to that is the new principal - if she is more IB friendly, as she appears, that will induce more IB families to stay, which will in turn lead to more of the more anxious IB families staying, and to DCPS paying more attention to the requests of IB parents.
