+1. I find it so funny that they are so defensive about their hypocrisy. Yes, dear, you purchased a 1.2 million dollar, 1,000 sq ft home in upper NW “for the schools”. We all know what you mean. But, hey, you went to a BLM protest and have a little sign in your yard.

Exactly. That’s the point. Nice white liberal parents that get offended when they get called out on their inconsistencies

Check out areas of WV or PA within 2 hours drive with confederate flags on the lawn.

Let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water. The little BLM signs on the lawns are some progress.

Do you send your child to a school where literally none of the kids are on grade level?

Nah. Most of us own that we are holed up in a bubble in NWDC for the schools and know the whiteness is a problem. The issue is being called out by another white privileged man who is pretending he is better because he sends his kids to a charter school (and pats himself on the back for taking care of his kids). Both sets of parents contribute to the lack of good public school options in upper grades. Arguably the writer of this article shares more of the burden since he is actively avoiding his neighborhood school.

This. If you do private, charter, or worked the AAP admission system to be separate, please come down from your podiums of moral superiority and self righteousness.

If you made any effort at all to locate in an area based in schools or chose your school, get off your soapbox. That includes Nikole Hannah Jones, who did NOT enroll her daughter in the local failing school. She picked a better school a neighborhood over with better scores and better administration. Yet, she’d be happy to call any white parent who dared say they don’t want to enroll their child in the failing local school a racist.

If more Black people put Basis and Walls on their lists, their would be more Black students at Basis and Walls. If the schools don’t appeal to them, they don’t put them on their lists. It’s a feature, not a bug!

I know some charter schools do targeted outreach in effort to get more students from underrepresented groups to include them on their lists. But marketing alone can’t make someone like a school if they don’t like it’s approach.

Montessori, for example, doesn’t appeal to all demographics equally. Does that make Montessori bad? Or great for the people who think it’s great.

It’s about choice. Maybe if your communist you can argue that no should get choice because difference = bad, but then it’s the charter system that is “racist,” not the lottery.

It’s fine to have this attitude. However don’t try to pretend at all that you are concerned about educational outcomes for Black and brown kids in this city.

Laughable. You believe in pandemic theater too, don't you?

It's like they all want to pretend they are Medgar Evers but without any of the risks. They are extremely low stakes freedom fighters. (And, yes, I know these people have no clue who Medgar Evers was).

The lowest of stakes

LARPing.

Being a smug jerk online is a form of activism, isn't it? Didn't Martin Luther King say that?

You're such a toad, I haven't seen a single school where NONE of the kids are on grade level. Oh and that's what differentiated instruction is for. duh. But that would make mini Karen's IQ go down if she was near the poors.

DC public schools routinely rank as among the worst, if not THE worst, in the country. It is laughable how bad many of the schools here are.

I understand some people get off on being holier than thou, especially online when they're anonymous. But maybe it's not surprising, and perhaps people shouldnt be so judgmental, about parents not wanting to send their kids to school at raging dumpster fires.

Except they are doing away with differentiated instruction. Duh.

Why even feel an ounce of guilt as a rich person living in NW for the schools? If the parents of the kids who can’t read at grade level gave more of a sht about education, especially considering all the federal and local money spent per pupil, then this wouldn’t be an issue. Instead of wallowing in useful guilt. Don’t.

Ok well then you need to look harder because our zoned HS has O% of kids on grade level in math. Will you send your child there? How about instead of using lazy stereotypes about white women, you ask why those schools are failing black kids.
