[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not this school? I'm looking forward to watching this documentary.[/quote] FWIW, the description reads: [i]Part 1 of 2. Chronicling a year at Washington Metropolitan High School in Washington, D.C., [b]an inner-city school where, on any school day, about half of the students don't show up.[/b] Second-year principal Tanishia Williams Minor features in the documentary. Rating: TV-PG[/i] Without a little more context, the logical inference is that this school is representative of DC high schools, when in fact it is an aberration. [/quote] 1. The bolded sounds like a pretty accurate generalization of DC high schools to me. 2. I think most people will get the idea that it is just ONE school in DC's failing system. Who knows, the point may be made during broadcasting that they are performing well-below their low-performing peers. :lol: [/quote]
