if HIGH SES parents didn't have charter options we all would have continued the flight out of the city as soon as the kids hit Kindergarten.  More are staying and guess what , our high incomes (Which seem to offend some of you clueless folks), cover a great deal of things you enjoy in this city.  Want to go back in time to the late 80s as the city was going bankrupt?  Your welcome.[/quote]

I'm a high SES parent in DC with a child in DCPS. You are not incorrect that your taxes pay for things that WE ALL ENJOY in this city. However, your attitude that people like the PP should be grateful that you decided to stay is offensive. The smugness is the problem, not the facts. There are a lot of young parents who are very, very precious about the school situation. They are clearly susceptible to marketing, and every charter school has a marketing strategy. My DCPS has a marketing strategy! Everyone wants to know what makes this school or that school special, and the answer is never gonna be, "Nothing, we're just a regular school." We will always highlight the good things.

Not everyone shares your smugness. [/quote]
