[quote=Anonymous]I'll go ahead and say it: I don't think any of the posters who have kids at MacFarland are defensive. I think the thing some people are reading as defensiveness are actually anger and sadness. Non-Deal and non-Hardy DCPS middle schools have relative few students of families with various privileges (race, income). That makes our schools more segregated and have fewer resources for students who need them. This thread is pretty illustrative of the way these schools are spoken about in real life and kids, parents, and teachers at these schools are aware of that. These school would feel different and arguably better if more families types tried them out. Those us who are sending our kids to them are sad that our society is the way it is and that the type of people who post here think and speak and fund these schools the way they do.[/quote]
