[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what's funny to me in discussing this (disclosures: white male with elementary kids) is that this discussion would spring up around Cleveland, which is in so many ways different from its peers: consistently a positive outlier on test scoring despite having a not-so-unusual DC demographic mix - 60% African-American, 33% Hispanic, 4% white; community option for free or reduced cost meals; a bilingual program driven neither by an overwhelming ELL need nor high-socioeconomic status parents looking for extra programming for their kids in order to justify entering DCPS.

Of all schools in DCPS to have an argument over white saviors and white savior syndrome, Cleveland really isn't the one.[/quote]

Are you saying the 4% white parents, who are probably concentrated in ECE, aren't agitating for changes to the school? They really want a Brent or Janney experience which isn't really about test scores. [/quote]

What is a "Brent or Janney experience"?[/quote]
