[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is hilarious. Without NW residents, all of DC public schools would be a dump. But it doesn't really matter because it has been proven that throwing money at the problem won't change people who don't prioritize education. [/quote]

It is much easier to prioritize education when you do not need to worry about the physical safety of you and your family, having a roof over your head, and knowing where your next meal is going to come from. Given how liberal DC is, it surprises me how outspoken and out of touch the conservative minority is in DC.[/quote]

Sure but come on.  A large percentage of the parents really don’t care about education.  Ask any teacher who teaches at a majority low income school.  Many parents attitude is that their child’s education is not their responsibility.  That’s the schools.  [/quote]
This. I'm one of those parents. I made sure that we live in a safer neighborhood (studio vs townhouse in need of repair since 1980) and have at least noodles to eat but don't call me about my child. I have my own work and problems. [/quote]

Ok then your child is going to turn out to be a thug[/quote]

Actually, it sounds as if that parent does care about eduction and what they did was opt for a smaller home in a good school district.  We all do what we can, some of us are lucky enough to b able to do more.  I have my kids in good DCPS schools, they have supplies and technology, they are well fed and have as happy a home life as a tween and a teen can have, but their dad and I also have to trust in the schools to a certain extent.
