[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am still so pissed about this. I mean, I hate whiners who ac like [b]FARMS kids are going to ruin their special snowflake. [/b]I think the amount of poverty and race disparity in DC is a crime. I think people who buy in the Brent zone and think that gives them a manifest destiny to go to Brent are idiots. But I am fairly certain that destroying positive change in neighborhood schools, and pushing middle class families out of DC, is going to be bad for everyone in the city.[/quote] Define "ruin" :?: :?: In 215 pages of handwringing, I don't believe anyone has admitted to what I'm about to admit: I emphatically DO believe my special snowflake's education will be nearly "ruined" if he was to attend a school that is comprised of a few of his type and 70, 85% of the type of kids I encounter while at appointments in some parts of the District. Yes, I do. It would be one gigantic squandered opportunity for him and his considerable potential. I do believe him to have above-average capabilities at this time. I admit that too. Is he more Special than a destitute kid who eats Cheetos and purple drank for breakfast? Nope. Maybe he's even less Snowflakey. But I do know this: it's not DS role to sacrifice his potential to make a political point. Not his job to sit next to a failing kid so that kid hopefully gets some of DS's good student factors by osmosis or something. [/quote]
