[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It does not appear the principal enjoys Bancroft’s rapid gentrification: https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/09/23/bancroft-elementary-school-title-i/[/quote]

Wow, she sounds pretty hostile.[/quote]

She is setting DCPS up for a lawsuit. They need a poor AA plaintiff who loses their ECE seat to a Spanish-speaking ambassador's kid to challenge whether their 70/30 language preference policy is actually racially motivated, because she's given a lot of quotes in here that make it sound like... yes. I cannot believe DCPS approved this interview.

Also forcing all kids to eat inside during COVID on the grounds that some of the families might have a cultural objection to eating outdoors? I like that she tried to claim it was about not all kids having warm enough clothing (a legitimate concern) and then when the parents were like, oh we can definitely fix that, she was like, I'm not going to let them buy their way out of the cultural problem... as though she hadn't tried to blame poverty seconds earlier.[/quote]

Yeah, that comment really bothered me too. I just can't imagine if the african immigrants in say, Sweden, were like, no, we don't culturally do winter so we don't want our kids going outside from October to April because it's cold. That's not how it works! You move to a different climate and you adjust, you don't claim that culturally you can't deal with it. [/quote]
