[quote=Anonymous]^ Come on, the "many countries where test outcomes are better than in the US" treat their public school educators and poor children better than this country does, a whole lot better.  Our teachers are made responsible for addressing a great many societal ills, including multi-generational poverty.

I wouldn't mind having a gaggle of poor kids in my child's academic classes in an EotP DCPS if the school could and would employ the staff to keep needy kids from sucking up a huge amount of the teacher's time and energy, to my bright advanced learner's detriment.  But my in-boundary program doesn't have the resources, and school system leaders don't seem to care a whit about how to best serve academically advanced gentrifers' children.  What happens is that my kid becomes more bored in class with every passing year, while I hire more tutors, play the charter lottery, and start checking out suburban real estate.

What about my kid's rights as a "high-achieving peer" to benefit from appropriate instruction?  What about my rights as a taxpayer to see my children challenged in public school?[/quote]
