[quote=Anonymous]My primary resentment towards SWS is not that it's not black enough, too black, or doesn't teach kids.

It's that it's impossible to get into and you basically have to luck into it, and then looks down on us for sending our kid to our IB DCPS (which isn't Maury/Brent/L-T, we cannot afford to live IB for one of those schools). I get tired of hearing about the "SWS approach" because it's not something available to me as a family because we could not lottery in. I feel the same way about the Montessori schools and the immersion schools and the "good" DCPS schools. My kid goes to an okay DCPS that serves a large population of at risk kids, and we deal with all the challenges that come along with that. We've struck out in the lottery repeatedly.

I wish people at SWS and these other schools would just learn to SHUT UP about how great their school is, and that we could focus on doing something about the many people in this city with kids attending schools that can't raise a ton of money via the PTO, have to deal with DCPS stupidity every day, have no leeway in curriculum, and generally just kind of limp along.

Congrats, you won the lottery. Go away now.[/quote]
