[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Non-DCI parent here, but my son is in a feeder school and I hope he will attend middle and high school there in a few years. In DCI, I want:
- High quality and stable teachers and leaders who run an academically rigorous school that will prepare my child to achieve to his potential
- A safe school with a strong culture, where students who want to learn aren't constantly disrupted by students who don't
- The continuation of a rigorous foreign language program
- Strong, hands-on science classes with labs. Rigorous history courses. Reasonably good extra-curriculars

I also want my child to go to a diverse school where he will be expected to be kind to others and leave the world a bit better than he found it. But a school that [b]teaches to a high standard and also sets a high standard for student behavior [/b](and has strong accountability systems to ensure both) are my top two priorities. Why doesx this seem so hard for middle and high schools to get right?[/quote]

Sadly there is a vocal minority in DC that has convinced decisionmakers that high standards are antithetical to equity. It is performative nonsense that has carried the day in DC for far too long.[/quote]
