Thanks. That makes sense. Hope all is going well!

As I understand it (my kid is at Cooper), they wanted to have the orientation to prepare themselves for the first school year, and prepare the kids as well.

We have a rising 5th grader enrolled at 2nd St (yes, we won the lottery). Why would there be orientation for one group of incoming kids in early Aug but not other incoming students at 2nd?

Or is this the optional summer school program and not orientation?

I heard it was because your kid is being persecuted and everyone else is being offered what your kid is not. Take a breath. My lord.

Actually, I heard the same thing about PP's kid. You need to look into things, PP.

The optional summer school program is basically an orientation.

School is starting in 3 weeks and they are still waiting for the immigration stuff to pan out. If it hasn’t by now, why would they think it will when school starts?

Classic moment of random DCUM poster with free-floating rage asking aggressive questions without tether to reality. The principal of Latin Cooper campus is a long-standing and well-respected member of the Latin community who has been fully engaged from abroad ( imagine that! ) all along. She is now joyfully back in DC in person and school at the Cooper campus has ALREADY begun with students in attendance under her leadership.

Hope this update allays pp’s deep concerns

She is at the school in person now. The kids have orientation that she is leading.

Never change, DCUM. Never change.

I thought it was sorted out and she was there?

I don’t think the school is even close to a decision.

Ok now where is the school going to move to?

Principal Roberts was in person at Day 1 today

She wasn’t deported. She went home during Covid.

Rule #1 in the interwebs: DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS

Except Latin’s announcement said it was immigration related in 2019? I don’t care about her citizenship but I can understand why parents might be concerned if she’s not able to start this fall.

I made a similar observation about the bad look for Latin with her not being able to hit the ground running. But I did it without subtle jingoism or bad faith use of (factually incorrect) trigger words like "deported". If you didn't "care about her citizenship" then you would have been better served to concentrate on the part about which you (now) pretend to care so deeply. But what you typed was not by accident.

So yeah, troll.

I didn’t post the “deported” comment and wouldn’t. I was responding to the comment that she went home during COVID.

Then I apologize if you took offense. My "troll" comment was aimed at the deportation nonsense.
