[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Okay, skeptics. What would y'all consider "above grade level" in a "good" school in kindergarten? In first grade?

I don't see what I've posted that would indicate that I'm sacrificing DD's education. All you know is that she goes to a DCPS with a lot of poor kids and few white kids and less than stellar test scores. I haven't named the school and I haven't gone into detail about DD's academic skills at this time - partially because this thread is about her social experience and partially because she is in first grade so "academic" skills are not really academic at this time.

At this point, I'm inclined to think that many of you do not have kids in DCPS or DC at all. The things I've said about our school could describe many schools in DC. If you truly believe that the only place children can be educated is a wealthy school with a lot of white kids, please find another thread because I'm getting pretty tired of being polite to people who post here to remind me - over and over - that I'm a terrible parent. Your comments aren't about the school and aren't contributing to any dialogue about the experience of being the only _____ in a class. Thank you. [/quote]
