[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, a lot of what the PPs are talking from is racism cloaked as "everyone knows" and "gut instinct".  Get to know your neighbors and their kids. Can you get comfortable there?  Then you can make the schools work.[/quote]

No, it's truly not.  It's not racist not to want to send your kid to a middle school that sees regular violence & gun incidents, with a full 2/3 of students failing the PARCC.  What IS racist is to pretend those schools are "just fine, you're racist if you don't send your kids there!"  The fact is those schools and those kids are NOT "just fine," and likely all their parents wish they had other options.  [/quote]

totally agree but I would sadly many DC residents are fine.  Why does it take gentrfiers (of all races) to actually change the schools and try and make them better and then we get the cold shoulder as gentrifiers.  I'm done keep your crappy school, area with more crime, and poor life outcomes just so you can have a soul restaurant or some bs pathetic.[/quote]
