[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like some parents thought they could put their 6 year olds in kindergarten and are sad to realize they have first graders: https://wjla.com/news/local/dcps-parents-dc-public-schools-lafayette-elementary-school-kindergarten-jennifer-lilintahl-avra-siegel-age-cutoff-dcps-cheif-integrity-officer-advisory-neighbor-commissioner-anc

I'm not clear on whether the families enrolled their kids in DCPS/charter preschools even though they were supposed to be in K (one of the kids is shown wearing a Lafayette tshirt), if the kids went to private school, or if the parents just kept them home (which would technically be educational neglect in DC; curious if Lafayette would report that--they are mandatory reporters of abuse and neglect, though I don't expect CFSA would do much about it).

If Lafayette let the kids enroll in PK4 when they should have been in K, I can see an argument for letting them continue to progress with their class--and Lafayette should get a scolding and an audit from DCPS and OSSE. But if the parents just showed up and expected to enroll in a different grade than their kid's age would dictate, I have less sympathy. If the parents are worried that their kids won't succeed in first grade, maybe they should start the 504/IEP process. [/quote]

This is why we need vouchers and charter schools. Then when burocrats and admins pull this on parents they can take their kid elsewhere and the money follows the student. Hopefully soon after, Cinthia Ruiz, the Chief Integrity Officer in DCPS is out of work with her worthless degree in Diversity Strategy.

We need inherently racist and classist structures to ensure that racism and classism remain a baked in piece of public education?

Sorry parents were told they had to follow the rules like everyone else and are having an absolute hissy fit over it but if they want to take their money and spend it on private school for a decade they are welcome to find one that will cater to their whims on their own dimes, not the taxpayer's.[/quote]
