[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've lived on the Hill for 20 years, and have been IB for the Cluster since having children myself a decade back. Family after family I know from the neighborhood has given up on Watkins after a year, or two, or three.  From the sounds of it, the current principal mostly cares about closing the achievement gap in a school whose catchment area is now at least 3/4 UMC and 2/3 white. [b] It's an unfortunate situation[/b].  I wish that most IB families loved Watkins.  You can always hire a math tutor to round our your child's learning experience at Brent, SWS and Maury, but you can't fix what ails Watkins as a parent.[/quote]

It's an unfortunate situation that she wants to close the achievement gap? For the kids actually attending the school. That's gross. I'm a Cluster parent - one kids SWS/Watkins/SH on to Walls, and another Peabody/Watkins/SH. The school has its ups and downs but to criticize it for trying to serve the kids in the building and work to improve their outcomes is outrageous. Most kids I know - IB or OOB - are great kids with bright/promising futures and a love of learning.[/quote]

You think that your knee-jerk, myopic and sanctimonious ranting helps poor kids.

It doesn't.
