[quote=Anonymous]Apples & oranges.  Call me a bridge person on these issues. I'm a "rising" Brent parent who can assure you that the LT and Brent situations aren't comparable.  We bought in SE last year to escape LT as much as anything else.

The address cheater issue at LT is no joke - there's a strong sense of ownership at LT by a gaggle of PG Country people (yes, AA) who should no longer be in the picture.  Parents talk about closing LT because concentrating energies on expanding Peabody might actually be a practical & reasonable solution.   It's easy to blame IB parents for whining when DCPS hasn't listened for a good five years now.

My understanding was that, when Brent started turning around, DCPS was hardly on the radar for most IB families.  Times have changed and with Peabody drawing in so many LT families again, LT parents will probably not build the critical mass of IB families, and the momentum, to change much.  Wiping the slate clean isn't always the way to go, but sometimes it is.  Michelle Rhee got that one.

I hope something changes radically at LT for the sake of friends left behind - housing the Peabody SWW there sounds like a terrific idea.  If that means "closing" and re-opening, so be it.
