KIPP is going to get another DCPS school. Where is the outrage?

[Anonymous]

Many KIPP alumni would say they were mistreated and put down. They have awful stories. The white black dynamics and the very young white leaders who mistreat them make it worse.

I know all you liberals hate charter schools but let me explain this to you solely

DCPS generally sucks especially EOTR

KIPP and other charters are the ONLY way out of decades of poverty for these families DCPS schools have failed for generations prior

yeah, I'm really not going to fault people who are really trying to give the best to kids and kids who care.
This is not going to get a lot of love from any side, but I'm definitely worried when the only kids left at an Anacostia or Ballou are kids who should/would get special education, objectively speaking, if they were in a suburban school and politics wasn't part of it.

I don't blame the parents but the Charters in these type of environments hoover up all the better kids and this is what happens. I wouldn't even mind that if they then didn't turn around and act like they didn't, so the teachers at the failing DCPS schools get the blame, more pressure, etc and then quit and the situation just gets worse and worse. These so called "miracle" schools rarely take over a troubled school, and the former DC experiments with Coolidge, Dunbar, etc were all failures.

True. There is some “creaming”

The Charters not the parents, not truthful (scheming and creaming)..parents trying their best.

Send your own kids to a DCPS EOTR and we might give half a shit what you think or mind.
