[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how many people whose kids with witnessing illegal or violent behavior are withdrawing your students. [/quote]

I’m not. Most everything discussed, excluding the girl pushing the boy down the stairs—only because we didn’t have any, happened at my middle school. Pretty normal, IMHO. I think DC has a large number of pearl-clutching parents who want their kids to have some small town middle school experience. They just can’t deal with the reality that their children are attending a large urban middle school so they lash out at minorities, OOB, and poor kids. They have a chip on their shoulder that they can’t afford Sidwell or St. Albans/NCS.[/quote]

Uh, no.  And I’m not a Deal parent or at a feeder school so have no skin in the game.  Sounds like major problems.  Parents like you who don’t acknowledge it is bad for the school.  Instead, parents should acknowledge it’s a problem, advocate that administration take action to address it, and have transparent consequences for these kids and follow thru.

The attitude that it’s nothing will just make the problem worst.  Kids that get away with this will continue to do so and influence other kids.  Worst of all, it’s distracting and disruptive to all the kids who want to learn.[/quote]
