[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMC parents who can pay for private are at better odds to try SH or EH knowing that if Walls doesn't pan out, they can send their kid to private high school school.  [b]I think a lot of the BASIS/Latin boosters from the Hill are people who cannot pay for private [/b]and want to secure the path to 12th grade without the stress of trying to get into Walls and know that Eastern isn't going to cut it.

DCUM is so weird sometimes. The demographic data on these schools is published. Your gut is wrong. By the numbers SH is much, less affluent than BASIS or Latin. And has a much higher at risk populations. Plus, only 28% of SH is actually in boundary.

The reality is affluent parents are able to see the really bad quality of DCPS middle schools like SH and go to a charter or move. They have choices. [/quote]

Why would affluence affect charter selection? What now?[/quote]

As a family with the funds to move, I can tell you right now there is no way I would send my kid to a dcps middle. Any dcps middle. If my kid got into a solid charter path (basis, dci, latin) I would stay unless I felt that charter didn’t meet my kids needs. [/quote]

Wow, you really went out on a limb there. To summarize, you'd keep your kid at a school...unless it didn't meet your needs?

Your bravery is laudable.[/quote]

I was criticizing the people who put their kids in dcps schools and pretend they’re getting a halfway good education. I put my kids first. [/quote]

I would go to Vegas and bet all my money on the fact that your kids will go no contact with you in adulthood. This is exactly the way people speak when they don’t put their kids first.[/quote]

Losing all your money in Vegas is a great way to put all your kids first.[/quote]

My family has way more money collectively than just mine. I’m also 100% confident I’m right and your kids already low key hate you.[/quote]
