[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The back and forth about race isn't nearly as relevant in this equation as the back and forth about Principal Cobbs.   Active IB PTA parents generally leave before K because they get fed up with her, regardless of how they feel about race and class.  Most of those who interact with her regularly lose faith and leave.  A few more IB and high SES will stay on for K this year than in the past, but not many compared to Maury and Brent.

As many of you probably know, the main reason Cobbs stays is because, 6 or 7 years ago, an earlier generation of IB parents lobbied hard to get DCPS to change out the previous principal, who makes Cobbs look gentrifier friendly.   Thus, in Kaya Henderson's view, DCPS has done its duty to serve IB LT parents on the leadership front and expect them to make the best of Cobbs.

Removing Cobbs is a no brainer, it's also a non-starter for at least another school year or two.

[/quote]Truth.  IB LT parents need to focus on keeping their own around a little longer and then on trying to get a new principal who doesn't drive the folks who get involved out rather than trying to screw their neighbors to the east who want to go to SWS.[/quote]
