[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for Scott Burger and A LTES teacher and your supporters.  If test scores are indeed top drawer for Capitol Hill, and Principal Cobbs is doing the fine job that you claim, why then are so few of the IB gentrifiers (read most of the current neighborhood residents) staying past PreK?

Why, were there only a dozen or so white/high-SES kids above K this past SY in a neighborhood that's mostly white/high-SES?   LT bashing drives the exodus locally?  That sounds implausible.  Something else is going on.  What, you tell us.

I remember talking to a good many LT families entering PreS3, and planning to stay to the testing grades, 7 or 8 years ago (when I bought my IB home, partly because I was optimistic about sending my baby there eventually, to take advantage of the Reggio Emilia curriculum).  To my knowledge, only one of these families has stayed to a testing grade.

Is there no chance of DCPS rewarding Principal Cobbs for her impressive test scores with some plum alternative assignment in the hopes of making LT work much better for the neighborhood?

maybe some other schools want to roll out the red carpet and lick the boots to white master/saviors but LT has managed to improve test scores without relying on gentrification. [/quote]
