[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, so why is this school so shitty? [/quote]

Black kids from nearby projects. [/quote]

That's so racist! Shame on you. Put the onus where it is deserved. Not on the kids themselves but on the City adults! I live here btw.

Instead of kids from who cares where, hold responsible the ACPS School Board, ACPS Administration and even the City for not a) hiring a true turn around expert for JH b) fixing the school building a decade ago given the open classrooms and special needs (neighbors were against the new building but not against a remodel, afaik, and c) not embracing Virginia Department of Education help as offered but instead sticking only to local school board educational fix technique. That's all fine and good, keeping it local but 3 years without accreditation is enough!

Lastly, holding this school to the more intensive IB Curriculum (pre K-8th) is over the top. Educate these fine children using a regular American educational format. There is still time to reverse course on this.

It's not racist. It just is. Pretending like cycles of poverty in housing projects don't contribute to school failures is racist. Shame on YOU.[/quote]
