[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“The only difference between low-income kids and Sidwell kids is the exposure — exposure to arts, to music, to active dialogue, to questioning the world,”

hahahaha. The "only" difference is exposure? That is so sweet and naive.

I want to know who's funding the "travel abroad" program for the kids who cannot "afford to pay full freight at Sidwell but would prefer a public school."[/quote]

Right.  And with 90 minutes of art each day and Spanish and Chinese every week, where is the time dedicated to bring your average DC middle schooler to grade level proficiency in reading and writing and science and math?  Expose away.  Sidwell graduates go to Harvard and Yale. These kids will have a ticket to UDC (maybe) if academics aren't also a priority.[/quote]

Let's see what happens to the other High Achieving Charters if there is a new competitor in town. Will they cry foul or support it. There are only so many motivated students to go around, that is what's happening to DCPS - brain drain. It wouldn't matter, but if you are going to hold the school with the most difficult students to the same standards and then punish them when they are not successful by removing resources and funding, then you have a problem.  Should be interesting. [/quote]
