[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who has a child there and has no complaints so far. The structure at a school like that is not the most developmentally appropriate but may yield good test scores because that is the main focus, not educating the whole child.

I have heard some first hand horror stories from current and former teachers about things that go on and are swept under the rug/ kept from the public to preserve reputation. [/quote]

A few have said "I know someone" or "I have a friend"....are there any parents that actually have sent their child there?

Clearly you don't understand that the "no excuses" approach was designed for low-income children of color. DC Prep parents are not likely to be on DCUM. [/quote]

What does DCUM stand for? [/quote]

Ohh!!! Haaaa.... very interesting. Wonder why?

DC Urban Moms and Dads - the forum you are currently using.[/quote][/quote]

DCUMers tend to be middle and upper middle class; their kids are not impacted by the achievement gap that "no-excuses" charter schools like DC Prep are working to close. If their kids are struggling or have low test scores, they have the means to pay for tutors or other supplementation, and they live in neighborhoods that have good public schools or they go private.
