[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a really depressing thread -- it sounds like people are asking for the bare minimum here. [/quote] Let me guess--you are a ward 3 parent? We are so far below the bare minimum at my school that the bare minimum for you would be fantastic for us.[/quote] I am a Ward 3 parent, but my child is not in dcps yet (waiting for WL results). However, asking that a school teach on grade level is pretty fundamental. [/quote] Yes, but the reality in wards 1 and 4-8 with the exception of a handful of schools is very different. I can't blame a teacher for teaching to the 75% of kids who aren't at grade level in a class. But I don't want to send my kid, who is not exceptional but is at grade level, there. That is why we are desperately trying to find another school, but unfortunately we had no luck in this year's lottery. DC schools are an inner-city school system and the scores and proficiencies reflect that.[/quote]
