[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newbie dc families are ok with a subpar school such as MV because they

1) believe that elementary school is largely irrelevant seeing how many of them came from cornfields and went on to good schools and collect 6 figure salaries doing very little substantive work
2) love the progressive talk of bilingualism, environmentalalism, etc
3) won't move since they are intoxicated with their house equity and the ability to bike and walk to their trendy restaurants and taverns

Have to disagree on "subpar." Been at MV for three years and while not perfect we've have had a great experience there. Great teachers all three years, committed parents and a lovely building (albeit with not enough play space). I've seen very little chaos this year and think the school is finally finding its groove.
That said, is the school ready for replication? That was the thread right? 
I'm not sure. In a few years maybe but not currently. I'm hoping (and I have lots of company) that the school waits a few more years before trying to open MV2. 
TBD....[/quote]
