[quote=Anonymous]I haven't heard anybody here shaming anybody else for making different choices. If anything, the main take away I'd take from all of this is don't rule out schools or make assumptions, and make whatever choice works for your family, not based on word of mouth or hearsay. One of the prior posters mentioned special education students - the achievement gap between different sub groups is real, and data shows these disparities across the region not just in DC schools. That is a longer discussion for another thread, but in the end of the day, hopefully people can all just be more civil to each other and respect people's decisions, without assumptions or judgements about why they stayed/left/switched/moved.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sure Eastern and SH/EH work great for some parents.

The same cannot be said for black and Hispanic kids, especially those in sped.

I’m happy for all of us when local schools work out, but I find it disgusting when loudmouthed parents try to shame others for making different choices.

This happened to me with my kids, and I was so disgusted by the blatant clout seeking behavior of my neighbor. Make your school choices on behalf of your kids, not yourself. [/quote]
