[quote=Anonymous]Recent transplant, with one year in dcps and one year in a charter. I don't actually know anyone in either school system who is "happy" with their choice. I think we are the closest. It is not ideal, it is not as good as what we had in another city, but it's working and our child is happy and that trumps everything. The thing I have found most damning in this place is that reputation seems to count for more than experience. And that although everyone is jockeying for the best situation for their child? It is some kind of Objectivist nightmare, where the poor single mom from anacostia jockeying for the best ends up being accused of residency fraud by the earnest young thing who works for a non profit, and finds her child "disruptive." It is not even anyone's fault, but there is an utter breakdown of communication between people, between classes, between lives. [/quote]
