[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This discussion is making me feel like my Black child would not be welcomed at Westland. What are the social and racial dynamics like at the school?[/quote] ?? why would you conclude that? I am the PP who visited both. Westland had an atmosphere of calm organization and a clear prioritizing of acadenics. Deal is 3x bigger and chaotic, with endless discussion here about academic issues. If you prioritize your kids academics Westland is a clear choice. [/quote] … oh, if you mean the comments on social justice at Deal: sure, I bet Deal will be more likely to go on and on about equity. Meanwhile they will happily let your black child’s classroom be disruptive and won’t provide them with a challenging curriculum. [/quote] MCPS parent, formerly DCPS parent, here. MCPS is just as focused on equity as DCPS. [/quote]
