[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janney parents already fund less 'privileged' schools.  It's called paying 'bigly' DC income, property & sales taxes.[/quote]

And families at Title I schools also pay taxes. The Janney extension and reno wasn't paid for by the PTA. The teachers and staff aren't paid bonuses by the PTA. Your property values are directly linked to a public school funded by the public.

If you don't want to donate,  fine. But don't play the victim. [/quote]

actually a lot of them don't pay taxes because they don't make enough money.  There is real poverty in DC if you haven't noticed.   I am not a janney parent and I don't think should feel shamed at all. They did the work, raised the funds and they can do what the want.   and yes, if they live IB, they are likely payin more in income tax and property tax than most families in high poverty neighborhoods. doesn't mean anything other than its just a fact.[/quote]

I agree with this statement. I don't live anywhere near the Janney zone, and I find most Janney parents really annoying. That said, it is their money and they should use it for their children. Poor children get Title 1 funding. I am more worried about schools without title one funding and without a rich PTA. [/quote]
