I have a 5th and 8th grader, does that count? DCPS leadership is black/AA, they have different challenges than we do. I have been around some of the higher achieving kids from Roosevelt and Coolidge, have you?! They are great kids. DCUM excels at creating caricatures of low income kids (that you haven’t met nor may ever meet). For an educated crowd, you’re pretty stupid.[/quote]

The question was "have you spent time AT BALLOU"?  Of course there are great kids there.   And if you ask them, many/most would much rather go to a safer, less disruptive school.  I've been to Ballou several times when my kid's team played them, and I found the parents and kids at the games very nice.  However, my kid also has a friend who had some issues at school and had to return to his inboundary school, which is Ballou.  The texts my kid got from that kid were heartbreaking -- being terrified of being in school because of bullying, doing nothing in classes, constant disruption, etc.  All of the parents asserting that "your kids would be fine there" are either extremely naive or lying   [/quote]
