Oyster has a mile long wait list.

Bancroft is nowhere near my house.

Season isn’t much better than Mundo and is not bilingual.

But to you we should be happy to be educated right? Brown is brown.

Lady, I'm a brown person, and my two kids go to Seaton. We've been there for years. Yesterday, we had a day-long multicultural celebration where each class celebrated a different culture where at least one student from the class had a family heritage. El Salvador, Haiti, Mexico, the DR, china, many many many more -- families brought food, kids dressed up, everyone was beaming all day long.

In addition to that, we have an ESL teacher ( a fully qualified master degree having teacher) attached to every grade to make sure that all the ESL kids are thriving. This is in addition to the fully qualified homeroom teachers for ELA and Math.

The principal and AP are both Latino and all correspondence/meetings/events are bilingual.

Maybe not in pre-K, but by kindergarten there are seats at many better schools without these issues, just not at HRCSs with a DCI preference…

You are assuming that all families have resources to get their kids to those other schools, among other assumptions.

Please do describe a person who can get their child to Mundo P St but not to Seaton or Langley.

Oh please. Your privilege is showing.

Okay. Oodles of people are so disadvantaged that they literally can't travel even a few more blocks. Tons of them.

Not everyone speaks English. Not everyone wants to leave a school where they’ll be treated like a second class citizen.

Dc generally treats Latinos like garbage. As a Latino person I frankly don’t feel comfortable sending my kids to a dcps school.

Your privilege is showing.

Well, being so mistreated you feel compelled to protest in the streets sounds like a better option, then. I guess.

I would rather protest in the streets than have my kids siphoned off to ESOL the second they struggled instead of being evaluated for special education services.

Then I wish you a very happy time at Mundo Verde, the school you are choosing to attend.

Imagine being the kind of person that is happy that a formerly quality dc school is struggling, especially one that really appealed to a marginalized community. Imagine being thrilled that a community is falling apart.

You should apologize for your disgusting personality.

Check the FARMs rate at MV. Just how many "marginalized" families are there?

Just looked it up. You are not wrong. 14%? Not sure where anyone gets off arguing MV is filling a large need of at risk kids.

then maybe they shouldnt market themselves as a bilingual school but rather a school for Latinos who do not want to go to DCPS?

one of my gripes was that MV said it was bilingual, but the few times I had to go to the school to speak with my kid's teacher or a nurse, suddenly no one spoke english. not a really great start.

NP but the word privilege just means nothing at this point. You’d rather stay at a school where you have to protest to demand math lessons for 3rd graders than go to a DCPS? Okay.

why should 8 year olds have to protest just to have math class????

At least you've had the privilege of a good enough lottery number to get into Mundo!

I think you were just trying to be a despicable person and be joyful that a school community is struggling, but your idea is excellent. I do think it should be a school predominately for Latinos. Or at least a preference.

This is all for nothing because I am not hopeful any of the issues will be resolved.

I couldn’t agree more. It’s very sad.

Lady, I'm a brown person, and my two kids go to Seaton. We've been there for years. Yesterday, we had a day-long multicultural celebration where each class celebrated a different culture where at least one student from the class had a family heritage. El Salvador, Haiti, Mexico, the DR, china, many many many more -- families brought food, kids dressed up, everyone was beaming all day long.

In addition to that, we have an ESL teacher ( a fully qualified master degree having teacher) attached to every grade to make sure that all the ESL kids are thriving. This is in addition to the fully qualified homeroom teachers for ELA and Math.

The principal and AP are both Latino and all correspondence/meetings/events are bilingual.

What does this have to do with Mundo?

Seaton is not bilingual but I guess if you want to preserve your heritage a single multicultural day should be sufficient according to some poster above.

Also what does this have to do with the problems at Mundo? A lot of lottery losers have an axe to grind.

Well you were right- Mundo has big problems. Now is a time to solve it and push for good schools for everyone.

Tough talk for a school that clears its waitlists above PK.

To be clear the response was “there is a multicultural day and that is the same as learning the language of your family”

Then more glee about schoolchildren losing their community and not getting a good education.

If Mundo's really the only school in the city where Latino families are respected, why is it having a hard time filling seats? I would think people would want to attend...

You’re absolutely right. But at least I’m not holding a 8 year grudge.

No one said it was the only school where this but why are you so happy to lose a good option?
