[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish people would quit taking the bait.  Unfounded racist bs without a shred of first hand knowledge or experience.

You should come out and say it -- you don't want your kids exposed to poor children of color.  Actually, you can't get past their color to see what other REAL issues may be going on at any given school.  Why do so many racist trolls feel obliged to dump on DC public schools?  Go find a Reddit forum ffs[/quote]

I wish people would come out and say it - we're only looking at JA through rose-colored glasses on this thread.  Those who don't cooperate are against us.

Poor children of color come in all shapes and sizes of course.  This truth goes a long way toward explaining why the suburban jurisdictions in this Metro area support bona fide GT middle school programs, unlike DC.

[b]If a poster expresses concerns about JA for their child, even concerns based on first-hand experiences gained in the actual neighborhood, why they're no more than a racist troll.[/b]

You're not helping your cause by painting with much too broad a brush.[/quote]

No, it's not ok if that concern if based on racist and classist stereotypes without firsthand knowledge.  Everyone is concerned about their kids -- even the JA parents others are quick to bash for no damned reason except their own prejudice.  Complaining that their kids will be preyed up in so-called lawless school is just factually wrong and deeply ignorant.

fwiw -- you and PP are lost causes -- I wouldn't dream of selling you on progressive urban education.  You have an exurban mindset.[/quote]

Who are you to judge PPs on their "mindsets."  Neighborhood public schools are supposed to serve neighbors well, regardless of mindset or "progressive" bona fides.

Go away PC troll.
