[b]If your standards were so high, you wouldn't send your child to a DCPS.[/b] I didn't. For that reason: I'm highly educated and my standards are just too high.

All it takes to close the achievement gap is to cater to educated parents??? Forget the poverty and traumas many of the kids come from. They're of no consequence. Just cater to us. Ain't gonna happen cap'n.

Face it: DCPS has zero plan to cater to and beg the 'more educated' parents to come, stay and play. They're too busy with the anger, dysfunction and triage of the masses.

And is this really all because Larla's teacher showed Frozen last week?[/quote]

Looks like someone's missing the point.  There are a lot of people posting to this thread who obviously aren't sending their children to DCPS, and for good reason.  That doesn't mean they don't have a right to their negative opinions and the very valid charges they are leveling at the system.  As taxpayers and citizens we have a right to care about the quality of education in our city, and a duty to speak up when it's clearly being overlooked.[/quote]

No, it isn't obvious that those whining and claiming to be more highly educated than the "ineffective", inferior teachers and those in DCPS leadership aren't sending their children to DCPS.

And, if they're not sending their children to a DCPS, it's painfully obvious that they want to.

As taxpayers and citizens...blah blah blah. Your first obligation is to your own kids. Do what's best for them. That's your true duty.

I know I'm not sending my children to DCPS and I most definitely do [i]not[/i] want to.  I'm also not the only poster to this very lengthy thread.  I do however, feel a sense of duty to the students in the system (not to mention that I don't like seeing the tax dollars wasted).  So again, as a taxpayer and a citizen I have a clear right and duty to voice my objections.  We deserve better.  You don't seem to have any response other than that it's a lousy system, but as long as my children aren't in it, I shouldn't care.  Fortunately, most of us don't see the world that way.  [/quote]
