[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is this stupid argument. Hill schools lose 25-50% of 5th grade to charters etc every year. It’s not “confirmation bias.” [/quote]

What is really concerning are some of the racial undertones in some of the other PPs. There is no way of knowing the SES or educational achievement of any of the new kids in 5th grade unless you're just making assumptions...[/quote]

Sure there is. It’s well discussed in our school that the upper grade lottery admits have “higher needs.” Lotterying into (or boundary frauding into) an elementary school with a bad MS doesn’t result suggest a family with ample means. I’m happy to have them in our school; I just feel bad that Ward 7 and 8 are so terrible that our MS is an improvement to them.

Being Pollyanish about this stuff helps nobody.  [/quote]

I find it funny that families who live IB for Brent talk about people that don't have "ample means" as if they are paying 60k/yr for private school. If it makes you feel better to pretend like by living IB for Brent you are rich then go on with your bad self. Also, love the assumption that someone who doesn't look like you or belong to your book club surely must be committing boundary fraud to be attending school with Molly and Dylan.

You must be one of those Tucker viewers who thinks that racism isn't racism if you claim you are just being real.  [/quote]

:roll: not accepting the facts does zero good for anyone. seriously. you’re in denial about how bad ward 7 and 8 schools are, and you persist in it because it makes you feel self righteous. in contrast I want all DC kids (and PG kids lol) to have access to high quality schools. I have no issue with the kids added to our school - I just wish we got the additional staff we need to support them. [/quote]
