[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure what you mean by "a private school education" but if you mean avoiding being around low-income people, then yes.[/quote]

It’s obvious you don’t get it.  It’s not about that or the race card that people are always using.  It’s about offering more challenging classes or instruction for the advance kids.  I don’t care if the kids are homeless, poor, middle class, or rich as long as they are able to perform in an advance or more challenging class.  VA and MD offer this but not DC.  [/quote]

This is exactly correct. It kills me that my kids sometimes tune out while basic material is repeated as nauseum. Kids who are two or more grade levels apart really don’t belong in the same classroom.[/quote]

NP.

That sounds nice, except I repeatedly tell people about the enrichment opportunities at our neighborhood school, but am meet with something along the lines of "well it couldn't be challenging enough" because it includes students from poor families too.  Sorry for the skepticism.[/quote]

Sure, there might be some people who are like this but it’s not the majority of people that I know.  If DCPS elementary and middle schools offered more challenging and advance classes, the families will come.  Please expand on what enrichment opportunities your neighborhood school has and the PARCC scores.  It might be helpful data and why families are not choosing to send their children there.[/quote]

A well implement school-wide enrichment model program.

Why do average PARCC scores matter?  It is a really poor measure.[/quote]
