[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The DC private schools are not as much of a wealth/privilege bubble as some people here say. It is all relative. For a lot of us this is just normal life in DC and we see schools elsewhere as privileged.[/quote] It is all relative, but my kids have been in class and friends with kids in their public schools that have been living in shelters or didn’t have food to eat when they got home from school (wonderful, sweet kids btw). You don’t see that kind of poverty at DC privates - and arguably these are the kids that need the most help if we are going to truly care about equity and diversity.[/quote] We had a super smart kid from our church who was offered a full scholarship and he turned it down. I heard he turned it down to work with his family instead and didn’t finish high school. [/quote]
