[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t speak about the motivation of any particular individual. But I have a theory as to why some people feel the need to come on here and trash those of us who send our kids to EOTP DCPS middle schools.

I think many of the trash-talkers made the decision to move or go private/charter because they didn’t consider their in-bound to be a viable option. So when they see other parents on here saying how happy they are with their in-bound, they see it as undermining their own rationale for leaving the system. They say things like, “You can’t possibly be happy, or if you are, you shouldn’t be.” Or they accuse us of being “boosters,” etc.
(And, by the way, they seem very proud of their ability to look up and cite aggregate PARCC data for particular schools.)

To the folks who may fall into this category, perhaps it’s time for you to just move on. You made your choice, and I fully respect that. You don’t need to validate your decision by questioning the happiness of those of us who took a different path.

Nope, I am sending my kid to the IB. My specific complaint is people who leave out very key information when they say they “love” the school. Also people who actively try to discourage people voicing very reasonable concerns about the schools, like safety and academic quality. [/quote]

Ok. So which specific IB does your kid attend and how does it do on safety and academic quality?
