[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My two kids and the kids of MANY of my friends--

Peabody to Watkins to Stuart-Hobson to Walls. And now many going on to great SLACs or universities. Some go from Stuart to privates.

We are long time DC and Hill residents, so the whole racial and OOB obsessiveness was never really a factor.[quote] We judged the schools by what we knew and saw in the teachers and in our own kids.[/quote] They were happy and did well. We feel very lucky![/quote]

Yeah, but did you ever walk the hallways and observe recess and cafeteria?  Did you ever talk to your kids about what they see and experience.  Did you notice behavioral changes in your kids and any antisocial tendencies.  Did you give a f^ck? [/quote]

Wow. You are an ass. Are you really accusing the PP of being a neglectful and uncaring parent for sending her/his kids to the neighborhood schools, despite their having successfully matriculated to "great SLACs or universities" as s/he said? Are kids who go from Stuart Hobson to Walls somehow affixed with horns so that you were able to pick out their "behavioral changes" and "antisocial tendencies" when they were at Walls among other kids?

Some truth:

Capitol Hill families who sent/send their kids to Stuart Hibson do it despite the academic and sometimes social behavior drawbacks.  It is "good enough".  They are not demanding academic excellence or high expectations for behave BECAUSE

Their kids are from a household that will support their success at high school and beyond DESPITE Stuart Hobson mediocrity.

They avoided Eastern High School ( privates, Walls, Ellington, Banneker etc instead ) for the SAME reasons that families avoid Stuart Hobson ( just a few years earlier ).  But they do not like to talk about it.

So, in fact, Capitol Hill Eastern HS-avoiders and Capitol Hill MS-avoiders actually have 98% of their DNA in common and should get along better[/quote]
