[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only way to strenghten schools is the investment of the prospective and present parents , of the granparents, and of the neighborhood . "Gentrification" offers a unique opportunity and a fresh wave of your families with stronger background. Give these neigborhoods extra resource, investments, and support. But for God's sake make those families stay instead of shipping kids out and in twice a day. Best words ever! At our DCPS Elementary School , on the day the Principal had called to take care of the school grounds, entire families showed up: granparents, elder brothers and sisters... At the time of PTA school action, you see that the whole neighborhood donate items (not only parents), because the School is a neighborhood value. On weekends, when users from out of the neighborhood come to play soccer in the school sprt field,it is the neighborhood parents who remind them that they cannot bring food and eat on the field, and on Sunday nights you see parents cleaning up the grounds , while their kids play, in preparation for the school weeks. "OB rights" (not to mention the crazy proposals in the air for completely removing the school boundaries for MS and HS) break the linkage between the community and the school, between parents and the school, between homeowners and the local schools.. Have the long-term residents work together with the newcomers from gentrification.[/quote] +1[/quote]
