[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then why don’t parents in these days ther parts of the city use their IB schools and their relative wealth to improve them? Why are they still trying to get their kids into an OOB school instead of going to school with their relatively wealthy neighbors? [/quote] Well, outside of the hollow cries of racism, it's in part because DCPS as a whole is addicted to incompetence, averse to listening to UMC families, but when they do listen they are extremely slow to respond. Plus rapid principal turnover harms stability; and the very demonstrated need to serve the personal and academic needs of low-income students is a logical priority. That last part explains why the middle-and-UMC families aren't getting what they want, and frankly it's hard to argue with that. [/quote]
