[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It really is all about the parents.[/b] Not even the money they raise really impacts outcomes at the school as a whole. My kid attends a title 1 school EoTP, our HH income is over 300k. We just had a teacher conf and she is reading a grade level ahead already, she easily grasps math and Spanish. Why.  She has parent with three advanced degrees who read and write and speak with her. We expose her to travel and museums and interesting experiences. She has never known a day of hunger or housing insecurity. We have never let her play or watch a violent movie or video game. Screen time is limited and monitored. She is living in a safe and healthy bubble compared to a lot of her peers quite frankly. The achievement gap is evident in K and will only get bigger and has nothing to do with the teachers or PTA funding.  [/quote]

That's really an insult to the excellent teachers we've encountered at DCPS.  We're a duel Ivy family with an HHI of 250k, and I have no qualms in attributing my son's academic success to the amazing teachers he has had.  I mean, even if you think your kid is the bees knees, the teachers still do the work of, you know, teaching.  And it's not only academics -- my kid has special needs, and they've just been amazing at working with his weaknesses.  I think you must not even realize what teachers do, because you just assume your kid is self-teaching? [/quote]

Your post is really an insult to Ivy grads. I have a hard time believing that one would write this. [/quote]
