[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because hrcs parents like to say they're not into test scores, man!

And then sneer and wring their hands at Powell/Bancroft/Tubman/Barnard et al. Because, I mean, have you seen the test scores? We're not into them, but pedagogy. Man. If you only educated yourself like I have, and learned how important these things are, you'd be doing Montessori unicorn immersion elvish with Larlito too.

Preach it sister. This is it. Test scores don't matter when your kids attend a hippy dippy charter school. Somehow it's an appropriate metric to gauge quality of neighborhood schools. Guess what, DCPS offers arts integration, montessori, dual language, you name it. These charter people who claim it's not the test scores, it's the programming options kill me. I don't see any of these same people enrolling their kids into Savoy or Langdon. Programming my ass.[/quote]

What grade is your child in?  Third or older?  If you have a child in a title 1 school in 3rd, I'm happy to hear your opinion on this. If we are talking about a ECE kid...move along. [/quote]

I have a fifth grader. (I am op though, not pp.) We do now attend a charter school. We did attend a dcps. Academics wasnt what made us switch from one to the other. Academically, I say with all of my inborn privilege and external comforts, is not a problem for the kid. [/quote]

So what school is your 5th grader at that you feel so smug to put these other schools down that have been open or testing for 3-5 years? [/quote]

May I also add, several of these charter schools were founded by parents. Parents, like you, who gave up time and resources (money!) to start these schools.  It seems easy for the OP to take advantage of the benefits of the dc education system while talking out the side of her mouth. How hypocritical. [/quote]
