[quote=Anonymous]It's this conversation right here that tempts me to get out of the city right now. We are a middle class family with some high expectations for our kids educational experience. We can't possibly afford private school for all if our kids and we are philosophically committed to public education.

But what I take away from my experience here in Washington public school world is that I had better be willing to spread my high performing students around to the struggling schools in order to contribute to the betterment of all public school kids.

If I do exercise due diligence and get my kids in a place where teaching and learning is happening at an acceptable level, I am labeled elitist, selfish, rascist and told my decision and hard work to put my kids in a good school is hurtful to the rest of the city.

There are many many many families of all races and sociology economic status facing this same dilemma.  In the past, most of them left the public school system. Did THAT help the school system?

Now that same old dc culture of " gotta get mine, so you can t have yours ". Comes around again.  Our leaders could change this conversation, but they sink right into it for political gain:  witness kwame browns comments on inequitable middle schools in today's examiner.
