[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone willing to share experiences they have had at title one schools? If you're willing to name the schools that could be helpful, but not necessary. Having toured some if them, I don't see a huge difference in the early childhood programs, except that everyone eats free. Some friends and family members have encouraged me to write off all title ones just because of that status, which is making me second guess my impressions, so I guess I'm looking for more data points.[/quote]
Sorry, but since it [b]sounds like you would only use the program for preschool[/b], I don't even want to mention my school. Parents like that are the reason these schools remain Title I.[/quote]

This, exactly.  As a long-time resident of DC I'd like to say that this attitude by the newest arrivals is really irritating to me.  Let me use that free preschool for 2 years, so long as the kids aren't *TOO* ghetto, or the percentage of ghetto kids isn't *TOO* high.  That buys me a little time to scheme for either a better school or a different address.  Or maybe they'll tear down Potomac Gardens/public housing in Columbia Heights by the time Maeve is in 2nd grade and then she can continue on safely in her pk3 school.  Whew!

If you're so affluent, as Greater Greater Washington keeps telling us that all the white/Asian/multi-raced Millennials are .... why can't you pay for private preschool and preK, as has always been done (and still is) in Ward 3?   Oh, because you "crave diversity."  But not too much. [/quote]
