[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was so interesting and so depressing - how can this school be in a city with a median income of 105k? Everyone should be ashamed of what is going on in this city[/quote] The true shame is that this school looked much cleaner, more structured, better run and with better teachers and instruction than A LOT of DC public schools.[/quote] If folks want to have some comparison of what is going on in other schools check out "Blackboard Wars" on OWN. It's a reality show about a charter school company taking over the worst high school in New Orleans. That show really opened my eyes to how difficult it is and the crazy, crazy problems kids bring into school with them. Isn't the DC METROPOLITAN an alternative school and the last stop for kids for kids on the path of dropping out? I don't know that it's fair to compare it to other DC high schools. A shame about the principal.[/quote]
