The Korean stand in Eastern Market has a few good things - most notably big bunches of herbs. I wonder if one of the butcher counters there could thin-cut beef? |
This thread has really gone off the rails. Kudos to the families making EH, SH or JA work for their families. Most of us aren't there and DCPS doesn't give a damn. This is an intractable seeming political problem that never gets fixed. Next subject. |
Percent (number) of students disciplined for an incidence of violence in SY22-23: BASIS: 2% (13) Deal: 4% (89) EH: 18% (97) Hardy: 5% (41) Jefferson: 21% (124) SH: 5% (33) Latin I: 0% (0) Latin II: 1% (2) And for two schools with PK3-5, so rate not reflective of middle school: Oyster-Adams: (16) SWW@FS: (17) Only SH looks better than some of the "good" MS on this metric. It's hard to take people seriously when they hand-wave away publicly available data. |
Yikes |
i’ll let you in on a secret: the schools suspending the kids who act out are actually ensuring the school stays safe. it’s called consequences. |
So you're arguing these numbers have nothing to do with a school's student body and only with how a school manages discipline? You can't reasonably use "number of anecdotes on this site" to directly compare schools; the sample sizes are all over the place. |
overdiscipline at schools is also a problem. i would not like to see a large out of school suspension rate. the earlier statistics were not the out of school suspension rate. |
Personally I think violent students should probably not be at school with other children. |
I’m not arguing anything - I’m telling you the actual experience of the school. |
Which school? You never specified. Just claimed it had less fighting than "some of the 'good' MS discussed here." The basis for that claim now appears to be ... just vibes? |
As a victim of a Catholic Education I would send my kid to any dcps over a Catholic school. Please. My classmates can confirm that sexual abuse is harder to recover from than weak academics. |
I’m basing it on my current experience at one of the 3 named schools vs all the complaints here about fights at Hardy. |
You can certainly claim your "actual experience" as a stand-alone assessment of your child's school. But it makes no sense to use that same basis to compare your school against other schools: you have no "actual experience" at other schools. That's why the data is useful for school choice - it's the most objective means we have available to compare performance across schools. |
