[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Diversity is key...if there's no white kids in the school then it is doomed. How come DCPS headquarters hasn't figured that out yet? We need an all out blitz to recruit white kids to DCPS....I am open up for ideas[/quote] Are you serious? PLEASE go away. I wish there were way to discuss the Hill schools without these kinds of racially clueless/hostile comments. I live on the Hill and would totally consider Miner, Tyler, or Payne for Pre-K 3 or 4 if they were convenient and I was confident in the aftercare. (For me, aftercare is actually the sticking point with these schools.) With small classes and high ratios, the fact is that most pre-K classes are going to be good places as long as they have good teachers. There just isn't a need for "differentiation" for THREE YEAR OLDS - three year olds all pretty much have the same needs. If anything, the less advantaged 3 year olds might benefit from more exposure to books & pre-literacy activities, which would benefit all the kids. [/quote] I'll bite - this is true, about 3 year olds, but I'm not sure you should justify your "free daycare" if you wouldn't deign to attend the school after PK. So while you're parting yourself on the back for being racially sensitive, what you're really doing is advocating a scene that will pop up all over the city soon - a repeat of Ludlow-Taylor the last 5 years, where all the little kids are white and the rest of the school is black. How does this help - since you're so clued-in?[/quote] If Miner's upper-grades black kids started outperforming all those IB white kids at Brent and Maury on tests, [b]as they did last year at Ludlow-Taylor[/b], I'd be OK with that.[/quote] have you looked at the PARCC results? nothing to brag about for LT. makes the DC CAS results look like a mirage[/quote] I was hoping PP could point to the data evidencing that AA students in Grades 3-5 at LT outperformed IB white students at Brent on DC-CAS and the years during which this occurred.
