Did they buy the land for it too? Wow.

BTW, I was checking out the Rocketship application, and they plan to eventually expand to enroll 5000k kids in the District! May never happen, but wow. Anyone know anything about this charter chain?

5,000,000 kids--wow! how will they fit them in DC?

I am curious as well. What were the demographics in the room, topic and tone of conversation.

It was a great meeting. The school reps (including a new AA staff member) made it clear that the school is sincerely dedicated to prioritizing diversity and every form and fostering an appreciation for diversity. Attendees were a mixture of race, culture, native language and family structure. All in all, it was a great start and indicative of the school's potential to be the next highly sought after charter.

Do you have any idea how diverse "white" is? Whites are part of the social fabric and part of Americas diversity. They don't have to sit out conversations.
