[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When DCPS adequately funds its middle schools and finds a way of educating children who have experienced trauma, then things will improve. Not before. That being said, I do think Eastern may be next to gentrify, Stuart-Hobson being well underway.[/quote] Middle schools have plenty of money. You are right about educating children who have experienced or live in trauma. I'm not sure anyone, anywhere has figured that out though. [/quote] Smaller schools with consistent staff that loop with kids helps a lot. It’s one reason we pay for Catholic school for my husband’s young relative. There are 150 kids in his MS. He will have the same four core teachers all three years. He doesn’t have to explain to a new teacher every year (or 3 months) why he’s sad or scared. They know his triggers and what helps him cope effectively. None will ever say knee-jerk “I’m going to call your mom!”. [/quote]
