[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are DCPS middle schools so bad and what can be done about it?[/quote]

My only experience is dealing with students to either Hardy and/or Deal middle schools. I'm not a parent, but if I had a child that was preparing for middle school, I would send them to either school.  Here's why:

#1 - I would hope that I provided the appropriate home life to equip them with any social/emotional challenges they may encounter
#2 - I am a firm believer in public schools so I would hope that I would have prepared my child deal with all the issues at either of the schools (if I could not send them to the above schools, then disregard #3)
#3 - Private schools are OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive. As someone who has inquired about employment at various private middle schools I realize that the amount of money a family may spend is RIDICULOUS compared to a free public school at Hardy or Deal (not to mention charters). You would be much better advised to spend your money on summer experiences for your child. Unless you have an outrageous amount of expendable income OR you are a significant scholarship recipient, why are you wasting your money?  Give it to me and I will educate your middle school student to the highest of levels![/quote]
