[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that the diversity of LT is one of its strengths.  But I also think it (and all DCPS schools) should be citywide schools - why should the in-boundary families get preference at that school at all?  The only argument families have against LT is that the principal is at times hostile or suspicious that inboundary families will try to push out those from other parts of the city.  And that she and the school do not try to recruit or retain them.  Fair enough - but maybe no school should be made up of neighborhood kids.  Why do we have that model at all?[/quote]

We only attended LT for a month, so while yes, I did get more than enough of an impression of the principal through meetings, robo calls, etc, I do not know as much about the school as many of you do. I will say, that I did NOT find the school diverse at all, not by typical standards at least. The PS was close to entirely white, PK seemed to have a nice racial mix and K and up was almost entirely black. That is not really diversity at all in my book (aside from PK).[/quote]
