[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think services follow white children in DC. They dont need them and the extras are (in my opinion correctly) directed elsewhere. Look at all the shiny new under-enrolled schools and per pupil spending outide of ward 3.

Extras at w3 schools come from parents not the city. [/quote]

[b]What hit me was the studies of what was available at the middle school level between schools East of the River and at Deal. [/b]They are huge.  I have had children attend a 90%  minority/ 70% Farm school and one that is 50% minority/20 % farm.  What was available at each school was huge.  The extras that go to poor schools are an extra school pychologist or new coats and backpacks.  It is not the extra computer lab or IPADs or robotics programs.   You cannot even imagine unless you have lived it the difference.  I don't know that I would have believed how different the benefits are withou the experience [/quote]

I live EoTP too, inbounds for Coolidge.  It's laughable that Coolidge and Wilson are in the same school district-- they are so far apart in terms of OFFERINGS.  Not just color of student body, or SES levels, but offerings at the school.  AP? IB? Specials? Clubs? ETc Etc Etc.  I couldn't consider it at all for my DC.  I pay taxes, and I had to try for DC to get into specialized HSs.  If DC hadn't gotten accepted, we'd have to pay $30,000 for private high school for four years.  I want what Wilson has.  Or even 50% of what Wilson has! [/quote]
