[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janney parents already fund less 'privileged' schools.  It's called paying 'bigly' DC income, property & sales taxes.[/quote]

And families at Title I schools also pay taxes. The Janney extension and reno wasn't paid for by the PTA. The teachers and staff aren't paid bonuses by the PTA. Your property values are directly linked to a public school funded by the public.

If you don't want to donate,  fine. But don't play the victim. [/quote]

actually a lot of them don't pay taxes because they don't make enough money.  There is real poverty in DC if you haven't noticed.   I am not a janney parent and I don't think should feel shamed at all. They did the work, raised the funds and they can do what the want.   and yes, if they live IB, they are likely payin more in income tax and property tax than most families in high poverty neighborhoods. doesn't mean anything other than its just a fact.[/quote]

I agree with this statement. I don't live anywhere near the Janney zone, and I find most Janney parents really annoying. That said, it is their money and they should use it for their children. Poor children get Title 1 funding. I am more worried about schools without title one funding and without a rich PTA. [/quote]

Based on meeting actual parents IRL or on this board?

That's like my judging all Hill parents for all the crazy stuff I read on those threads or all EOTP parents who complain about their IB school with veiled racist comments (what's the FARMS %? What's the percentage of white kids? What's the OOB %?) while all the while patting themselves on the back for how progressive they are living in their $1M house in Mt Peasant. [/quote]

Based on parents I know and still know in real life. I have been to many a Janney birthday party where people made veiled or not so veiled racist comments as well.

And to the confused PP, Mount pleasant is some distance from Capitol Hill. [/quote]

I don't think the PP was confused about the locations of Capitol Hill and Mt. Pleasant. Reread the post, this was an "or" statement.[/quote]
