[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are these parents staying if it’s so bad? Are their IB schools that bad? Sounds like it would most likely be better than this! [/quote]

If it's P street, our school (Seaton) lost a bunch of students to MV early on (like in PK). I myself almost fell for the hype a few times, but I am SO thankful we stayed. I have a third grader, this feels like a parallel path that my kid could have experienced. Instead he has a team of third grade teachers (ELA and Math) who both have been at the school for more than a decade, are superstars, have grad degrees, and have him working way above grade level on both subjects. In addition to the ELA teachers and math/reading specialists who are always pulling kids out.

I'm going to say it -- families fled their IB school bc they were afraid of the demographics. But it is a better school, period.[/quote]

Us too (not at Seaton). I feel really grateful I trusted my instincts and didn’t fall for the hype. The grass isn’t always greener.[/quote]

A lot of people in DC value bilingual education, not everything is about the school demographics.[/quote]

There are plenty of bilingual DCPS schools where parents aren’t staging protests and accusing the school of educational neglect. [/quote]

Are you crazy? No there are not. As a bilingual person, it was hugely important for my kids to speak spanish. They also make friends at school and love it there. It’s completely irrational for you to say “oh you wanted your kid to have teachers? Find another bilingual school. Just uproot and drive in a different likely less convenient location and force your kids to leave their friends.

I cannot tolerate the absolute morons on this website sometimes. Every parent should be out there rooting for Mundo. If you don’t think the other charters (including the ones with terrible boards like stokes, lamb, etc) and dcps are watching you are deluding yourself. [/quote]
