[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a quick note to say it would be great if someone who says that Wells is not doing well could provide actual specifics instead of what sounds like 14th hand information.

And also, how many of you so insistent about the importance of how many students were/were not on grade level at the elementary schools you attended when you were younger?  Did you see the data? Did your parents?  Seems like you still perceive yourself as being smart.  Or that maybe your experience of your “good” school and education is just not dependent on this one story line?  Lots of smart kids go to schools you’d never consider and there are plenty of other whose parents have made them so entitled they think their teacher should be one-on-one with them at all times, but it doesn’t matter how smart or challenged they are because at the end of the day they will have a huge safety net should they stumble one day.[/quote]

boy talk about privilege! personally I think my child actually needs to be taught and prepared. I’m not willing to say “oh, school doesn’t matter - he has a safety net!” crazy attitude and terrible argument to get people to buy into DCPS schools. [/quote]

Lol. It’s the audacity of people who come in here say stuff like this “I actually care” as if parents making different choices from them don’t. And no one’s asking you to buy in, it just might be nice if you stop talking about an experience you actually know nothing about and not assume you know so much about other people who make different choices than you do.

And “my parents moved to the neighborhood for the schools” -  no one said this was new. In fact it just has a new name/face now vs. when our parents were kids, when our grandparents were…. It’s called racism, and everyone on this forum knows all the lingo that hides it but most turn a blind eye to the history and context so they can be convinced they’re getting the “best” of everything.

It is not racist to not want to send your kids to a school with a negligible number of grade level students. Continue to think you're a mind reader and get mad at people who care about their children's school if you want, but you sound like an idiot.[/quote]
