[quote=Anonymous]1. High income highly educated families can also be of color.

2. All this school hopping is showing your kids what you really care about. I have a good friend who is shocked her elem kid isn’t thriving - he’s in 3rd grade and she’s moved him to get him in the right pathway since he was 3. He can’t make long term relationships w his classmates. It was really horrible when her kid didn’t know anyone on zoom.

3. Not knowing what middle school is like. First your kids aren’t in preK. They are tweens and you can’t micro manage their day. Let it go. Parent switch to some charter or private and then stop caring because they reviewed all the school marketing. That’s not how education work

4. My child isn’t challenged. Why should they be at 11? I can show you adult after adult who was challenged in middle school and is failing in life as an adult.  I can show you adult after adult who got into the highly selective college and are failing in life.

5. Children are at a title 1 school as it’s our IB. They will stay there until 5th and then go to our feeder middle school. The only reason I can see removing them is if we move (and honestly we would move IB to deal/wilson because that would be where a home and neighborhood we’d like). We wouldn’t move for the school zone and based on commutes, bus lines would keep our kid in their title I feeder.

6. If my child needs a “challenge” I can provide that for them w tutors and summer camps and life. I don’t need them “challenged” in geography class.

So far the families that have left I’m happy to see them go. Hyper type A moms who have never lived in a heterogeneous world despite being woke that they don’t think about what is best for the whole not just theirs. We still have hyper type A moms but they really do think about the whole and it’s very apparent during covid. [/quote]
