[quote=Anonymous]Just do the best thing for you and your kids. Or other peoples' kids. Seriously. No one cares. Don't broadcast it or call others racist for their decisions. That's not productive. We were at a Title I school and switched to a non Title I DCPS. there have been pros and cons to both schools, but frankly the cons at the title 1 far outweigh the ones at the new school. There are still great teachers, students and families at the old school and many very talented and bright kids who will do well wherever they go -- and this includes lower SES kids who are just very bright, good kids. We tried to be engaged at the old school and be a force for good -- pushing for outdoor recess, less yelling and punitive culture, more and better extracurriculurs, and we had only modest success. I can't see that the school is better since our kids' time there. You are seriously oveestimating how much of an impact a few engaged families can have. [/quote]
