[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- Poster here. This is a great debate. I can take the criticism because I am willing to ask the questions that most of peers would not. Most people who can leave- don't ask what they can do for DC schools- they just leave or go private. If I wanted to live in Arlington or Bethesda it wouldnt be a problem. But I'm not putting myself in that suburban nightmare. I'd prefer to stay in the city and really help to improve things. When I look at the resources that DCPS has to spend its hard to think that an active PTA can't help transform any school into a great school. I'm just wondering if too many DC parents of underperforming schools aren't willing (or aren't able) to do all they can to turn things around. [/quote] Eyes, they are rolling so hard! Your enthusiam is great, but your ignorance about poverty is irritating. You seem to think you are smart or brave for asking these questions, but you come off as ignorant.[/quote]
