[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have a solution to the problem with schools in this city.  But as an educated UMC family EOTP, charters are what kept us in the city to make it work.

We were at an immersion charter and now at DCI as a new family this year.  We were at an event this weekend and met a number of other DCI families and [b]wow the backgrounds of these families were impressive - lawyers, CIO, educational executives, etc…. [/b]It was also a very diverse group with blacks, white, asians.

It is quite obvious to me now that educated UMC families of all backgrounds and ethnicities are congregating and coalescing among the few acceptable charters for middle school EOTP.  It is not by chance that there were so many accomplished families in one event.[/quote]

There are plenty of these people at Deal, Hardy, Latin, Basis, SH etc. because its DC. But also kind of cringy to point out. There are also many families that struggle at DCI who probably weren’t at your event because they were working. [/quote]

Educational executives? In no world do I think that’s an particularly impressive job — especially by DC standards. An actual U.S. Senator has his kid at Stuart-Hobson, so we better all rush off there to keep up with the Joneses now.[/quote]
