[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all are chicken shit. Becky has the balls to put herself out there like that and not hide in the shadows of anonymity like you. Instead of crapping all over her effort, why don't you add something constructive. Oh, that's right, it's because you are empty of ideas and the only thing you know how to do is bring people down.

Chickenshit?  I've been working in education long before you moved DC. I'm on 3 city wide education groups in the city and 10 years ago I worked on issues to make a middle school happen in Shaw. This is happening in my own backyard, yet I know nothing about it.

I imagine a few white, upper SES parents parents sitting around on weekends with their 5 year olds and infants in citi-minis talking about how the are going to "fix" the schools.

NP.  So offer some constructive advice to them (not sure if you are among the "give up now, all is hopeless" posters).  Just because you have not heard of it, does not mean that it is not genuine.  Just because they have not heard of you, does not mean that they are clueless.  And negatively talking about any group of parents trying to improve the schools, is frankly just not helpful.  A lot could be done; we need all the help we can to pitch in.  New parents should be always welcome, and more seasoned parents should have the patience to remember back to when they first started.
