[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, the Kipp model is 100% unappealing for my family.  Not a racial dis, but rather the teaching style and model is not in sync with the approach we'd like for DC to be educated in.

Personally, I was the white minority in both middle and high school, and my parents pushed for me and my sister to attend because of the quality of academics. I plan on doing the same for my DC- and hope that we find that in a few years. (For now, aspiring to attend SWW based on what we know of the school.)[/quote]

What does KIPP have to do with this conversation?[/quote]

TGhe PP who first brought Kipp up was suggesting that Banneker makes its high-schoolers work harder than Wilson does in the same way that Kipp makes its 4 year olds work harder than other DC preschools, and that white parents don't think their kids need to work that hard.[/quote]

Oh this is the preschool parent who loves to chime in on their opinion of high schools even though their child is 10+ years away from attending HS.[/quote]

Or the person who thinks anyone who doesn’t like KIPP must be a racist?  What about AA parents who don’t like it?[/quote]
