[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]On a side note. I think that people here put too much importance on what the school does and not enough on the parents. Every meaningful study of schools shows that as incomes of the students rise, so does performance, no matter what else is done. Most of the neighborhoods are rapidly gentrifying. I just think it's funny that people don't think that as the demographics change, the schools want. From what I've read about some schools in east MoCo, a good school can certainly turn into a mediocre one in that period of time.[/quote]

This is so wonderfully naive--especially as it relates to DCPS particularly--that I don't know where to begin. I'll just say that I wish you the best with this line of thinking and that you might contemplate doing a little more research.[/quote]

I really just came here to ask about inventory. But all I'm saying is that no one knows where these schools will be in 5-10 years, especially in a city whose demographics are changing rapidly. I've done a lot of research. The things I stated about parental income and school performance are incontrovertible. They are fact that has been proven over decades of study in numerous locations. Why would something that happens everywhere else in this country not happen here?
Maybe I'm naive, but I think a lot of things accepted as dogma, are not necessarily true.

I'm not trying to be mean or rude. I really appreciate the advice that everyone has taken the time to give. But that last post was insulting. I'm going into this with my eyes open. My job has included working with kids in a school system worse than DCPS. 
I'm saying I don't know what will happen and am willing to accept some uncertainty. People on here who say they do know what will happen probably don't.[/quote]
