[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing is destroyed at this school! We don’t need people like you who have such crappy attitudes anyway.

Also, ungrateful much? We are getting an amazing new school out of this. While the current space is outdated, it’s huge and everyone is making the best of it. It says more about you than the school that you seem to have such a bad take on it.[/quote]

At least four kids left the school since January. They used to get the bus with my DC. I rest my case. [/quote]

It's tragic that your bubble popped.  The world mourns.[/quote]

Dude. Picking a school is about more than picking an educational experience; it’s also about picking a peer group. Your kids’ peers become their primary source of influence starting in the upper elementary grades. There’s no reason to be rude to people who respond to changes in the environment they selected for their kid. [/quote]

Dude.  You're miffed because the school was being renovated and people didn't like the inconvenience of bus service to a temporary location.  How spoiled are you?[/quote]

I was responding to some less than thoughtful accusation about a burst bubble, which seemed to be a coded way of saying elitist (or some other “ist”).

To be fair, if I’d had a kid in grades 3-5, I doubt I would have put them on a cross-town bus. We would have just made the jump to private school early. The biggest benefit of a neighborhood public school is that it’s in your neighborhood. Your kids’ neighbors are their classmates, and they can walk to/from school. It’s easy to be involved and to attend after-hours events. The calculation is different for kids in lower grades. [/quote]

Exactly, thank you. And suddenly it becomes very easy to answer that classic question: "Why do the private schools are so expensive in this area?" BECAUSE IT IS HARD TO TRUST DCPS. Such a madhouse. [/quote]
