[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it delicious that CHPSPO is so confident that Brent parents should jist go ahead and try to make a failing middle school work for them and trust that their kids will thrive in the end.  After all, didn't we manage to band together and turn around our neighborhood elementary school with the help of families from across the Hill (and alot of others).

In case you hadn't noticed, we're pretty worn out from trying to make Brent work to our advantage and don't feel like gambling on a middle school education.  Even if we opt to forget about those parts of the Ward 6 Middle School Plan which Henderson and DCPS walked away from, relaunching an elementary school with a successive cohorts of PK students is a far cry from a handful of UMC kids magically flipping a middle school with a declining population at which a significant segment of students can't even read or do basic math.  If you think I'm a racist or don't give a shit about poor black kids, then so be it.  Better yet, why don't you walk the walk and p withdraw your kids from (1) Peabody and Maury and send them to Amidon or (2) Stuart-Hine and enroll them at Jefferson or Hine.  Let me know how that works out for you.

I'll happily pass on the Kool-Aid and go take my chances at a charter or another school at which I can feel good about entrusting my child's safety and education.  I guess I can live with your disapproval.[/quote]

There is always risk for any child in a new environment but a seat in a diverse charter school carries less than one in any but the most proven and well-resourced DCPS school.[/quote]
