Oh you’re right. Because so so many white kids in ward 3 speak so many other languages. Sure! Double down Karen. |

This may sound shocking to you, but Mann’s catchment area is full of diplomats (embassy/ world bank/ IMF) and these kids speak languages other than English at home. I looked at my DC’s class list and 13/18 kids in their class speak a language other than English at home (and several speak more than one). And yeah, last I checked, the children of Italian or Romanian or Polish diplomats are considered white. This, along with plenty of kids from South America, Asia, and maybe a third American-born, is the profile of Mann’s student body. Stop calling me Karen. You are ignorant. |

Did your dc’s class and they TELL you that information? Bc that would be a violation of privacy. You can lie to yourself if that makes you happy. I DGAF. I had such a good time sharing this post and giggling about it with people. Yeah, all the diplomats only live in Mann. And I also love how you seem think that white people speaking is better somehow than lamb full of Central American… right? You disgust me. Go back to scrutinizing your child’s school list for black/brown people you will accidentally exclude from your child’s parties. |

You sound unhinged. And I say this as an AA person who chose not to live in district for Mann (bought in CC DC instead) because of the lack of the kind of diversity that was important to me (other AA students), but witnessed PLENTY of international diversity there. What the PP said is true - a lot of embassy kids are zoned for Mann and it's evident in the school's population. |

| What? I was trying to help the OP understand what the Mann community is like since it might be helpful in making a decision about where to send their kids, and others on here who do not actually know the school tend to characterize it in a way that hasn’t been accurate in some years. I know all the families in classes pretty well from birthday parties and school events… I was not comparing the schools or making a statement about which is better. Take some deep breaths…. |

It’s not because they are white though, it’s because they aren’t low SES. Asian students generally do better than white. |

Not you, sorry. The crazy sounding one. |

They’re defensive and can’t admit that their kids aren’t getting the best public education in the District. |

LAMB was one of the last schools in the city (and arguably the country) to require masks. They were required all year except for two/three weeks in May. |

Well, as a Latino parent who lived inbounds for Mann, I got tired of repeatedly being called a nanny. Also of having white American neighbors point out with obvious pride any embassy workers yet rant and belittle Nannies, maintenance men, and people you believe to fit in one of those categories on the regular. Also exhausting, the many many micro aggressions. The overt and slightly concealed racism. It’s so easy and fun to call someone of color mad, isn’t it? Anyways I agree with the poster above. Definitely go to Mann |

Montessori classrooms are large with lots of close interaction of children. There was a massive outbreak almost immediately when they removed masks. It made sense IMO to keep them. Outdoors was mask optional. |

That same “outbreak” wasn’t in the same class, right? And was the exact same week that cases rose for all schools in the city, right? Your evidence for a “massive outbreak” is nil related to mask option is nil. |
