[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should have tuned in to the briefing tonight or head over to the DCPS planning website. There are phase 1 improvements already underway including a cafeteria and classroom conversion and configuration for HS programming. The folks who are scared and trying to portray this as a rushed and thoughtless exercise are not paying attention. [/quote] I did tune in. Most of the discussion (at least from DCPS) was regarding parking and traffic. Getting to and from school takes an hour at most. The kids will be in school for 6 hours. The plans for curriculum, leadership, facilities (e.g. sports, labs etc.) are non-existent. They haven't even figured out whether it will be an AP or an IB school and what programs they plan to offer. With a current 7th grader at Hardy, we have every right to be cautious (scared even, as you say). In a few years, the school might grow into a compelling alternative to Jackson/Reed but the first class will have it rough. [/quote]
