[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [quote=Anonymous] If you are saying you are ok sending your kids to Coolidge or Roosevelt, I bet your kids are not close to HS age yet. Wait until they are before you make declarations like that. Do you think DCPS Leadership would ever send their kids to Dunbar, Cardozo, Roosevelt, Eastern or Coolidge. No way in hell would they consider any of these schools for their own kids. And sadly, Ballou has not improved since your coworker went there. Go visit any of these schools and ask to sit in a couple of classes. It will be a real eye opener.[/quote]

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]

Resorting to name calling. How juvenile! Come back next year when you have actually enrolled your student at one of these schools. I was recently speaking with a Coolidge HS graduate who completed precalculus at Coolidge which is the highest level of math they offer. He said he placed into remedial math at college and he couldn’t get over how far behind other kids he was even though he got straight As at Math in Coolidge. Of course there are nice and smart kids at every DCPS school. [b]It is tragic how DCPS is shortchanging them[/b].[/quote]
