white lives - even to many black people - have greater value/importance than black lives.

school leadership sometimes responds accordingly[/quote]

I’m an UMC AA woman, and my children attend their IB WotP school.  We receive all of those things from teachers and administrators at my children’s school.  At my request, my oldest child (who is very academically advanced) has received differentiation EVERY YEAR both inside and outside the classroom.  Any concerns that we have voiced have been respectfully addressed.

I don’t think that our experience is isolated, but it probably depends on the school (and the parent).[/quote]

It probably helps that you are WOTP at a school that is largely filled with White UMC students. [/quote]

It probably also helps that:
We live IB
My husband and I are both lawyers
We are active in the school community
We contribute to the annual fund and auction 
Our children are at the top of their classes, bright and (generally) well behaved

Ultimately, who knows the exact combination of things that has caused this school/DCPS to work very well for us.  I’m just telling you that it works and we’re happy with the results.
