[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Misspelling "Stoddert" is a tell. [/quote]

We live 3 blocks from Stoddert. Just because my phone did a random autocorrect doesn’t mean we are not IB. Feels like to me that your IB gatekeeping is a tell of a different nature- very much in line with the  DCUM handwringing over a potential Title I designation for a Ward 3 school. (OMG- my property value!?! Let me hug my Goyard/LV tote tighter and lock my Tesla/Prius doors in front of my BLM yard sign!)

Title I exists because as a nation, we are still collectively failing to meet the educational needs of families from historically under resourced communities. To learn more, here is a primer from an education perspective-

At the same time, Title I funds can benefit all students attending a school that receives the funds. If the school qualifies and is able to pay for more academic tutors, then student test scores improve. In addition, they could hire more teachers using Title I funds so class sizes decrease. Isn’t that the Holy Grail of DCUM-small classes and high test scores?

One of the benefits of DC that there is equity, diversity and choice in the educational programs of the system. If you don’t like something, roll up your sleeves and help be part of creating a positive systemic change so all families in DC can thrive, not just a few families in the “right” neighborhood.
