I don't want to be mean to 19:21, but the thing is that you will find a lot of warm, caring, hardworking teachers working in DCPS. And when your kids are little, everyone is good.

Where things fall apart is when the kids get older and some of them see reading/studying as not cool and they use "MF" in every sentence (with no regard with whether or not there are adults around) and the girls like to fight and classrooms are disrupted regularly by a few out of control kids -- that is when you have to decide to keep your child, who has up until now liked school, in that environment. Add on the fact that the classes aren't that interesting to your child. The school culture is one more of culture than academics.

Not saying that this is what is going on at Jefferson, [b]but it is going on in other Ward 6 middle schools[/b]. The culture of medium-low expectations on behavior and academics is what wears and wears on you. And then you worry if your child will even have enough education under their belt to be able to do well in high school and college . . .

Why don't you just say Stuart-Hobson?  There are only 2 other middle schools in Ward 6, and no one on DCUM sends their kids to E-H.  [/quote]
