[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, probably not the best choice of words but it makes sense that kids living in high proverty area might need more social and emotional support to help counter act the effects of poverty. Of course, poor kids live all throughout the city, not all poor kids are need of extra support [b]and plenty of upper SES living in SE will need support[/b], too.[/quote]  Why?[/quote]

Because the need for extra support is to some degree independent of family income and ward of residence?

I wonder if the DCPS speaker meant "SE kids" as in Special Education or Socio-Emotional and just had no idea about how DC is laid out in quadrants? It would be just like DCPS to bring in a consultant from another city who spends no time learning about the District. Not that I agree with how the statement was worded in that scenario either.[/quote]

If they meant Special Ed, the shorthand is 'sped' (and as a parent of a student with special needs who gets special ed services, it's offensieve too).
