[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child attends a Title I school (so did I). What about  this designation bother / concerns you?

Look at the school / teachers / community and not labels / stereotypes. You might just surprise yourself.

I'm the op. The designation didn't really bother me. It was only after I mentioned some school visits to friends that it was brought to my attention. It seemed like they had ruled the school(s) out strictly because they were title one.

I since have learned that title one schools may have some restrictions about things like field trips that cost families extra because they are not allowed to ask families to contribute. Personally I like that, having grown up relatively poor in a rich school district. I was very well aware of my lower income status when I had to stay home from school trips because I was one of only a couple students whose families couldn't afford it.

I asked the question here because I figured that there may be other characteristics specific to title one schools that I wanted to learn about. I really appreciate hearing from the kind posters who shared their experiences, and would love to hear more stories. Thank you![/quote]
