[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]most public school kids are going to by middle school in a city with a lottery and choice know some stuff about school rankings and school reputations. impossible to avoid it. thing is the kids at the less popular schools often seem to me to be pretty happy. they really dont while attending the school have an inferiority complex. [/quote] The do get an inferiority complex when each year multiple students leave for other nearby schools (whether charter or DCPS). In early grades no, they don't get it. By 3rd or 4th, kids know what is going on and feel resentful. It sucks watching your friends leave. But also the parents are in a bind. If you stay, you might be the family whose kids lose their friends every year. If you leave, you are contributing to the problem. I have been on both sides of it.[/quote]
