Unfortunately the real situation is much less exciting than the fantasies of our beloved Whittle soap opera aficionados. Nobody in the admin or parent committee was skimming anything. What was there to skim exactly? The school had been dead broke since December 2021. The admin was mostly going without pay, with lower level managers receiving partial salary. The reason Dennis left was because the school was literally furloughing large amounts of staff and cutting leadership/admin salaries in half. There was no "big payout". And lastly, the wealthy parents on the funding committee are the only reason the school was able to limp across the finish line. They paid teacher salaries, security, and insurance so their kids could graduate, helping the rest of the student body finish out the year by happenstance.

One final thing about Dennis... He's not some corrupt mastermind hell bent on running schools into the ground. He's a nice enough guy, but ultimately a diversity hire nincompoop. That's why Maret hired him!


So what makes him a diversity hire? Just because a he’s a minority or his Masters from Ivy league? The racism in DCUM never ceases to amaze me.


I think a lot of whittle parents did not think he was specifically brilliant. We did not get that vibe. It has nothing to do with race. People can agree that he is a decently nice guy.


Did said Whittle parents have many opportunities to have deeply intellectual conversations?


Maybe something like that is your level of intellectual conversation. That sort of statement is only a surmise. Having this type of judgmental discussion would be gossip. Just agreeing with most of what the insider said though.

I still think it was all a front for Chinese either for VISAs and/or the setting high on a crest of a hill for signals intercept

Why ?

Because maybe you can fool some DC area parents, but Chinese investors - far less so. The millions that they were willing to spend ( lose) on a rental property is the tell tale and I always thought the FBI should be investigating

" he is a con man" is very useful cover

thank you very much for your honesty!

Maret needs someone other than just a dumb diversity hire. They should really know better than to ruin a long run with a solid head with such a dummy.

To the Whittle community- I am truly sorry that this happened to you. Chris Whittle is a scam artist- he has been ever since the Edison Project

It really isn’t that big of a scandal as many here like to think. Not enough worth a documentary. A lot or rich folks paid for a less than education and we’re left scrambling to their likely wealthy white neighborhood school. Lesson learned. In the grand scheme of things, this is not Warren Jeffs or Elizabeth Holmes.

Netflix testament ? Unlikely, unless the film is focused on the connections to the Chinese government.

Just in case anybody forgets what a psycho liar Whittle is, here he is in Italy a couple of years ago pretending he's modest while also claiming that his decades of "education" business have been a big success.

Contray to his claims, however, he didn't prove that charter schools were great -- his private public schools were mostly a flop. Channel One was a business failure that affected many and did zero to "educate" anybody, and he's talking as if he's responsible for Avenues' success.I don't know the exact date of this speech, but it's possible he did this blathering when he'd already stopped paying the rent for Whittle. He'd certainly already stopped paying the architect, the construction company, etc..

You can see by his demeanor here why he's such a successful con man. Serene as all get out while telling lie after lie. Or at least it seems that way to me.

To the PP that asked about transcripts. Finally, the last of the staff at Whittle worked on the transcripts and sent them out to all families. They should have announced that they were working on them sooner to avoid any confusion.

I heard from some former Whittle students that building was empty. So that’s why the PP couldn’t get a hold of anyone.

So fake


Were you able to get anyone on the line? How do determine if the person asking is fake?
