[quote=Anonymous]So, according to this one poster, current parents at EH are okay with how things are going because "[w]e are recognizing improvements and our small goals are being met." I'm guessing that this is not a view shared by most DCPS parents, white or black, at any income level, which explains why the school is woefully underenrolled. I'm sensitive to the charge that whites seem to think that their presence alone will improve a school. But I also think that I have a right to have my kid educated for free at my neighborhood school. If I'm not happy with that school, I have a right, maybe even an obligation, to suggest changes and to work for those changes to occur. The fact that someone was there before me, investing his or her time and effort, does not mean that I should back off, though a little more respect on both sides is in order.

I'm glad I read the thread in any event, because it's helping me get a handle on the push back I see on the ground at my own east of the park school.[/quote]
