[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t live in DC but I don’t agree with PPs criticizing OP. I think it’s a nice thing when people that have better options choose to send their kids to public school. All the chides about “gracing” the schools with her presence and implying OP’s thoughts are racist are ignoring real issues with struggling public schools. Those schools could benefit from buy in from higher income parents that can donate to the PTA. And studies show schools with concentrated poverty suffer.

Isn't it good that OP is choosing to integrate/help deconcentrate poverty? Don’t people that choose to go private or option get vilified for fleeing/opting out? Is every choice made by UMC parents automatically racist and terrible?[/quote]

Unless someone is actively declining a better option, they are doing this for themselves.  I chose our IB because of what it offered and thw affordable home and short commute.  Yes I tried to help but that was not the real reason I was there.[/quote]
