Give me a freaking break. The graduation rate for boys of color in DC is 38%. If you want to increase graduation rates, start with boys. These schools are INCREDIBLY successful in Chicago. Compared to the boys in DC, girls are doing great. I have one son in DCPS and another in an all boys school. There is a huge difference. I'm sorry, but boys are different and learn differently. Schools are already for girls. |
This looks like CHEC in Columbia Heights, not the new EMOC high schoo. CHEC has a non-profit called MCIP that gets private funding for a lot of stuff. They don't need to hire via DCPS. Or maybe it's a charter school? I'm a huge critic of DCPS, but I highly doubt they'd "consider" people still in college for a high profile project. |
Yet, if Socialism worked at all, it would have done so by now. |
Other than over-entitled upper NW families, who cares? Aren't you responsible for ANOTHER criminal activity? Don't answer, it was rhetorical. |
I don't think this is DCPS, and it is definitely not EMHS. EMHS is not in Columbia Heights, but Congress Heights, correct? |
If I knew that the EMHS is going to be located in the old Ron Brown school, then I would do a google map of "Ron Brown School DC" and probably learn that EMHS is in Deanwood. |
Why? If it were called Jewish, or Hispanic or Asian...or better yet ESOL. No one would be complaining. But ANYTHING GEARED TOWARD ACTUALLY BLACK AMERICANS ALWAYS GETS ATTACKED. |
They might have taken the word "color" out of the name but best believe the staff will reflect people of color. I kinda agree no need to make it so obvious...the city might be gentrified but the school system surely is not and probably won't be in decades. You can't have a city population that's less that 50% black and a school system 98% black. Wait aren't the majority of the high-schools named after black with a population predominantly black. I think it be named Barack Obama High School...and be done with it. |
Obama HS would be awesome. You do realize he's mixed race? Seems like a great representative of our future. |
I don't think we want you in the District. |
I think it is statements like this that make it obvious that you live outside of DC. Schools like Cardozo, Ballou, Roosevelt, Coolidge, and Spingarn are named after Blacks, but keep trying. |
^^^^are not |
Isn't there a reason the Harlem Children's Zone starts in the womb? And, Margaret Sanger started Planned Parenthood to abort black babies? |
