[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What's shameful is a system that makes it so you can only go to a good school if you can afford to buy a house in a neighborhood zoned for one.[/quote] What's shameful is the multi-generational poverty and cultural rejection of achievement in much of DC. I assert that there are very "good schools" — nay, excellent [i]schools[/i] — in DCPS where 50-98% of the student population come from families described above. The "schools" aren't the problem.[/quote] If your assertion is correct (which I don't really buy), that's also a product to the same system that has given us segregated housing and tied education directly to it.[/quote] No. Eight generations out, it’s no longer “the system’s” fault that a significant number of District families reject school of any kind.
