[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you ever deal with Cobbs?  We did and left Ludlow after a year during her tenure.  She was there to serve what she liked to refer to as "her kind."  Translation low SES AA students and their families.  She was also rude, a reverse race baiter and dismissive of UMC in-boundary parents as a general rule.  My spouse and I are not white, but we found her offensive.  Yes, I know she did some good things management-wise, which paved the way for Ludlow to emerge as a primarily in-boundary school in the near future, from here in 2020.  We were thrilled when she retired to Colorado.

I heard this secondhand when we also did our one year at the school, in 2011. Cobbs was leading a meeting to educate current PK parents about K and beyond. During the event a UMC white parent asked a question and referred to the possibility of not continuing to K. Her response: "Well, we really don't care if you stay or leave." At that point I believe total enrollment for K and above was something like 90 students.

It's a totally different school now, not just in terms of the demographics but also the quality of the leadership.[/quote]

sounds like a clueless and annoying question from a privileged Pk parent. [/quote]
