[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It may look trivial to complain about yogurt/McD/TV, given all the issues Title 1 schools have to address; it clearly rubs people the wrong way.  But maybe those are the obvious things "gentrifiers" feel comfortable addressing.  They hardly can march in there and start demanding whole-scale curriculum change - imagine the reaction to that.  Let it go - a donut here and there isn't so bad, but a regular diet of junk food isn't so good - if there is a way to use funds to promote healthier eating habits, why not?  Or steer the energies towards things like art supplies, like one poster suggested.  Sounds to me like, if parents want to help, want to make an investment in the future of a school, why is it so important to fight it?  Pick the things that need fixing and go for it.  Together.  That's the goal, right?  [/quote]

Whether rich or poor, parents do not make curriculum decisions - especially in the age of grant money, and both DCPS and many DCPCSs have received lots of it.

The idea that anyone can "march in there" and make curriculum changes betrays genuine ignorance.  Stop it.  If you hate the idea of your children being in school with greater than 20% FARMS students then move or go private.

(My money is where my mouth is.  I've already put one child in private.)[/quote]
