He was a public official. He had some influence over policy and was very forceful about what he thought needed to happen.

He advocated SHUTTING DOWN Walls and the other application schools. TBH had he sent his daughter to a private high school it would be less hypocritical than this.

And he then joins the club of those who want more from our neighborhood schools and DCPS administrators.

Why 22+ pages? Judge not lest ye be judged” and Weedon deserves a heaping helping

It’s about integrity and decency. When those are violated, people remember

Are you saying that Joe can't take criticism? Of his own volition he put himself out front. He sure liked the positive feedback he got.

amen I attended one CHPSPO meeting and I could tell I was unwanted

The irony is almost everyone there bails on the neighborhood school system at some point but if you mention even thinking about it you are treated as a piranha

I wonder what they think of Joe now since he has basically turned his back on everything they supposedly stand for

Going to a private is clearly worse than going to a DCPS application school. Cut the guy some slack.

I would disagree. They are taking a free, selective education from another DC school child who may not have the option to go to private.

Wait, wait, wait. Isn’t the whole idea that having Joe and his daughter at any public school will make that school better? He’s actually doing DCPS a favor by not going private ( sarcasm font )

“Worse”? What is wrong with parents deciding that private school is better for their child and then moving that child to a private school? The point is there is nothing wrong with parents making the best decision they can for their child and his apparent history of imposing his view of what is right on others is what has inspired this thread. Hopefully being on the other side is humbling for him.

This.

What an a-hole.

He used those specific words? You must know a very different Joe Weedon than I do.

Yes Amy, we all do.

The founder and head of CHPSPO did not enroll her older child in a DCPS high school - she bailed. As have other active members of CHPSPO too. Yet they get all Judgy McJudgy Pants when their orthodoxy is challenged.

Do you mean pariah? Not sure what being treated like a piranha would look like.

I think everyone would run away from you if you were a piranha (not unlike pariahs) LOL
