[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel that basically if we show up we will win. And I’ll be honest about it, if people with money and degrees put their kids in a school and demand certain courses for their kids they’ll get it. DC has the money. My experience with building projects has consistently been that if empowered people with ability to get things done show up for their own self-interest DC will either cater to them in proportion to their numbers.

I’m not going to put myself here but when I send my older kid to MacFarland in a couple years I know that with my engagement and that of other parents they’ll be an Algebra class for my child to join. And follow-on options. I plan to make it happen. Not play the lottery or stay on the sidelines or move to Silver Spring.

You may not do take the plow yourselves but the furrow will be plowed. And soon. [/quote]

This is just about the most misguided post I've ever read here. You personally don't have the authority or funding to make it happen and you're ignoring the Principal and other school officials, teachers, DCPS HQ, funding requirements, other parents who might not want what you want, etc. Plus you still have issues regarding peer group and systemic poverty issues. But go ahead and drink the DCPS HQ koolaid that all you have to do is show up and put in an effort and everything will be great for your kid.[/quote]

Piling on, the fact that the earlier parent says "they'll (sic) be an Algebra class" in middle school is doubly unimpressive. [/quote]
