[quote=Anonymous][quote]The principal spoke at the open house about finding more ways to integrate the students, for instance over lunchtime. Perhaps this will make it seem less like a school within a school once the kids have a chance to meet others outside the program[/quote]

Aren't New Hampshire Estates and Oak View two of the schools with the highest concentration of in-bound poverty with roughest crowds? Even by DCC standards, there is a wide gap in experience between the CES students and the regular students who are dealing with far more serious issues -homelessness, parental incarceration, fear of deportation, food insecurity, older siblings or teenage cousins with pregnancy, gangs, or drug problems, or simple just extreme poverty where new clothes, school supplies and ample food aren't available. These aren't groups that will become peers or have playdates. I wouldn't fault the school for not having an active enough PTSA if the parents are dealing with more serious issues. [/quote]
