[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then maybe[b] we[/b] don't want[b] you[/b] in DCPS.

Believe it or not, most DCPS families don't have the money to move out of the city or switch to some fancy private school when they feel their little munchkin can't go to some[b] private school wannabe[/b]. If you don't want to improve DCPS AS A WHOLE, maybe you shouldn't be involved in it at all.[/quote]
1. who is 'we'? is that the royal 'we'?
2. maybe you're the one who is a misfit with other dcps parents
3. what's wrong with trying to emulate a private school?  careful, your 're looking a little green here
4. those dcps parents who hate the choices offered by dcps can look to the charters....dcps is not the only game in town, for cash-limited families[/quote] I'm the poster you are referring to.

We is parents who actually want to see success across the board in DCPS. Just because I live in NE DC shouldn't mean that my 6th grader gets a worse schooling then your 6th grader who live in upper northwest, or a highschooler who some school decided was "smart" based on some arbitrary measure of standing.  Am I a misfit? Maybe. Maybe I'm just a nutjob who you don't have to give a shit about because I am not rich or famous.

Private schools are fine, public schools that act like they are private are just stupid, they need to grow up and admit that they are not private, they dont deserve more money or attention then all other schools.

Good luck getting into a good charter school... With their waitlists and randomized lotteries. Tell me once youre kid who has been on the waiting list for 2 years gets skipped over again for the kid in upper northwest who could be going to Lafeyette, Deal, or Wilson. Thank you very much. Simple richer the kid, the more money you can take from then in voluntary donation drives.[/quote]
ok, op, if you're in that situation mentioned above, I understand your frustration
however, every time a lafayette-entitled child chooses yu-ying or washington latin, a space opens up potentially for an oob child
I truly believe that DCPS is failing to serve many many kids, but I don't agree with ripping down successful programs as a remedy to dysfunction
DCPS needs more magnets, not fewer, possibly even starting in middle school[/quote]
