[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PP who is the SW. Many of you probably can't begin to imagine the struggles some kids face. I also work with families who live in poverty, have experienced trauma, etc.  I love my work and I like the families who are very nice. However, most of the kids are performing well  below grade level and the parents, who have the best of intentions, just don't know how to support them at home.  No way would I put my kid in the same class with kids facing these struggles and neither would a lot of the jefferson boosters if they worked closely with famililes in SW. The teacher would need to devote most of her time addressing the educational deficits and providing the emotional/social support these kids need.  By the time you have finished supplementing work, you might as well home school.

Ok fine, but if you truly believe your child cannot be educated alongside other DC children, then don't go protesting about how DC "ignores the needs of the middle class."  It's your choice and your belief that is keeping you from using the school to which you are assigned.  I don't think DCPS has a responsibility to cater to you, if you believe you must be segregated.
