[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were brand new to DC with children pre-school age 3-5, where would you start in researching schools? If YOU relocated here, what do you wish you knew before coming as it relates to navigating the school system. (with children that don't have special needs and with children who do) What advice would you give to a family brand new to the area DC interested in Public & Charters? Resources? websites, consultants ect. TIA[/quote] [b]With two children in HS, my biggest regret in life is that I raised them here in DC. [/b]So what advice would I give? Don't do it. [b]It's a horrible place to raise a family.[/b] [/quote] What high school? Most people I know with kids at Wilson or Walls don't feel this way.[/quote] I couldn't disagree more. My kids have grown up in DC and have attended DCPS from PK to now high school and they're had a phenomenal school experience and childhood. I think they're extremely lucky to have grown up in DC and they would agree. [/quote] Totally unrelated point: Frank Luntz, the Republican propaganda consultant, has been telling conservatives to talk about hating “Washington DC” for 20 years. (If you haven’t read it, Google “GOPAC memo Luntz Gingrich”.) It’s not exaggerating to say that there is a coordinated, billionaire-funded propaganda campaign to denigrate DC. Some of the trolls probably picked up on that, other trolls here probably spread lies like that for their day jobs. [/quote]
