[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The more people try to say it’s racist and racism as the overwhelming reason why families leave poorly performing title 1 schools instead of acknowledging that there are many issues at these schools and the dysfunctional system that is DCPS, the more you will drive away all families.

Minority who grew up poor and been there.

Drive them where though? They’re not going to Bethesda or Ward 3, they’re going to a charter that also has issues and possibly even lower test scores. Plenty of families at JKLM schools can handle DCPS, and not all EOTP schools are dysfunctional. Why would someone choose Cap City over Whittier? Or Lee over West? Or MV over Bruce Monroe? You’re trading one set of issues for another, not avoiding issues by opting into some significantly better option. So why do people choose those schools then, if not for the demographics? Honest question because I truly don’t understand what these “best choices for my family” decisions are based on.[/quote]

I suggest you re-read this thread and focus on the posters who have stated the many specific issues they have had with their title 1 school and why they left.  Not every single thing applies to all title 1 schools but you are just either in denial or ignorant if you don’t know what some common themes are.

You have no idea about any of the schools you mention above and only have 1st hand experience at the school where your child is.  Yet you make blanket statements. And you say the only reason is because people are racist.  You don’t know the reasons why families left and your post above is why they continue to leave.[/quote]
