[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the general agreement about PARCC by DCUM is that, with a few notable exceptions, it is hard to educate students from hard/tough/poor/chaotic backgrounds. Integration by assignment does not solve the root problem.

And I will leave DC if anyone tells me to send my children to unacceptable schools with no other choice. And I do not live in Ward 3.[/quote]

Your choices -- work with other parents to improve yourneighborhood schools, get in by lottery to an OOB school or a charter.  Save up for private.   More to the suburbs.

That's more choice than many poor people have[/quote]

Not the PP, but I think you just made their point for them. They were saying [i]if [/i]they had no choice (e.g., charter, lottery, OOB, etc.) But I applaud your effort to keep DCUM an inhospitable place where people snipe at each other even when they agree.[/quote]

Poor people.have all.of those choices including opportunity scholarships and FA to privates. I am not saying its easy, but when was poor applied out of boundary and rode the bus there for free to drop child off.[/quote]
