[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s easy to forget this in the DCUM bubble, but many families don’t have the option to leave. And those kids deserve an education. [/quote]

Maybe not in pre-K, but by kindergarten there are seats at many better schools without these issues, just not at HRCSs with a DCI preference…[/quote]

You are assuming that all families have resources to get their kids to those other schools, among other assumptions. [/quote]

Please do describe a person who can get their child to Mundo P St but not to Seaton or Langley. [/quote]

Oh please. Your privilege is showing. [/quote]

Okay. Oodles of people are so disadvantaged that they literally can't travel even a few more blocks. Tons of them. [/quote]

That’s so great Susan. Thanks!

Not everyone speaks English. Not everyone wants to leave a school where they’ll be treated like a second class citizen.

Dc generally treats Latinos like garbage. As a Latino person I frankly don’t feel comfortable sending my kids to a dcps school.

What!! There are SO many DCPS schools that have huge Latino populations. Ours is just less than half Latino... Our principal is Latino, every grade has a special ESL teacher who pulls all ESL kids out to make sure they are doing well, and the kids are celebrated. They are happy.  I encourage you to do some research.[/quote][/quote]

I encourage you to do some research too Jennifer. My personal experience and that of many many others in a that in practice this is not the case. Please don’t speak on what you don’t know.

Also taking away another option from families like mine doesn’t IMPROVE things for Latino families. [/quote]
