Walking distance preference alone would benefit many LT families. It most definitely does hurt the LT community when a new public school is built w/in its boundaries and no preference is given. [/quote] [/quote]

Part of the problem with the LT IB crowd is that they take advantage of the free daycare, claiming they want to stay, then hit the road, which doesn't exactly bolster their credibility.   Right before Rhee left, two dozen parents living just east of Stanton Park met with DCPS people to challenge the Cluster boundary (Peabody two blocks away but our houses OOB nonethless).  They told us their hands were tied on boundary changes and urged us to take up the issue with the Gray Administration.  To my knowledge, nobody did, and nobody stayed at LT past Pres3.

No telling why the lousy LT principal has been able to hang on for 7 long years, or why PG County participation remains a fixture.  I suspect the fact that some granola crunchy IB parents are OK with the nonsense doesn't help.  With all the new ES options for the LT IB crowd, a critical mass of reform-minded parents never seems to materialize.  You think the least LT parents of little ones could do would be to lobby for a neighborhood preference at SWS, now that there is probably political support for that.
