[quote=Anonymous]Wow, this just sounds like another Capitol Hill [b]Cluster[/b] f^ck.

Some kids in school here live in and are subject to conditions that these so-called high SES'ers cannot fathom.  There's no meaningful gov't support for the kids, or at least none that the school is going to willingly provide.  So they act out and beat on your high SES kids who don't know how to fight back.  They are bullying, but no one is going to do anything meaningful about it.  Meanwhile they cause the classroom to go into disarray, no one learns, no one goes on field trips, and no one grows.  OP, ask your kid if he/she can write the letter A or B or C, or anything except for letters if his/her own name, or can count to 20. Ask your kid if he/she ever went on a field trip and when was the last time.  Find out what field trips that class used to go on in prior years and how much the kids could count and write, and loved that class so dearly. Ask yourself whether the lack of resources to maintain order and discipline in the classroom so all suffer, and that the class can't go on field trips because some students are uncontrollable, is worth it.  Kinda like growing up in a psych ward with sudden outbursts - toddler shell-shock.  Your epiphany will come, just maybe when DC is bruised (physically, emotionally, whatever), or stagnating intellectually, and in elementary school.  Yeah, you'll go private or move.  And the bullies will find other victims, and only the bullies' inside hurt will grow ... and fester: kaboum or kaputt. And the victims will be scared.  Great ending. :( [/quote]
