[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish they would just build DoD schools. I went to DoD schools in Hawaii, Kansas, and Germany.  They were fantastic schools, on post, with kids who shared the same type of life I did.  It was wonderful!  My kids went to a few DoD elementary schools, but obviously not here. [/quote]

Those days are over. My understanding is school districts complained about not getting the tax revenue. So the DOD kids, rather than have a seamless experience (and I'm glad you had a good experience - but not all remaining DOD schools are to rave about IMO, though they may be better) are basically subject to wherever their parents are stationed. Very rarely are military bases co-located in highly functioning school districts, so to heck with the kiddies. As to fearing brown people-that's laughable. Obviously PP has zero familiarity with our multi-hued, many walks of life military. These people simply want consistent, quality education for their kids. They are not in a place long enough (2 years maybe) to "make a difference by throwing bake sales etc" though they will no doubt volunteer as able. And that's not their job. Defending the Constitution is. If Leckie is a quality school, which is the District  of Columbia's job, then it would easily attract military families on its own merits. [/quote]
