[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey PP, thank you for sharing your concerns about your DCPS vs. MV.  We are likely going to have the same choice this summer and I'm feeling the same way.  And I'm super disappointed about what happened yesterday at the Council.  Dysfunctional puts it mildly.  It's a really tough time.  [/quote]

We have enrolled at MV and no regrets.  DCPS in general is a mess, dysfunctional, and way more unstable when it comes to any competent and transparent leadership.  A few schools may be the exception but in general when it comes to meeting the needs of the kids above grade level, they could care less and don’t listen to parents. All they care about is closing the achievement gap and pulling up the kids at the bottom.  ECE May be OK but wait till you get to upper elementary.........[/quote]

This is hilariously delusional! Our DCPS differentiates and all the kids I know are being pushed -- many kids reading and doing math above grade level because their teacher noticed and set individual goals for them.

I have never met an MV parent who said their kid is being challenged above grade level.

People flee to these charters because of demographics, but what is going on in the classrooms? I've seen so many white people swtich from DCPS schools that would have pushed their kids farther to schools with larger peer groups and much less challenging work from the teachers.[/quote]

Here is some news for you.  We are a minority family and not even considering our DCPS school and neither is our neighbor who is an AA family.  It’s not about race.  It’s about wanting a good education for our child like any other family.  Making a generalization that all white families are leaving your DCPS school is racist is just propagating racial divides.  PARCC may not be the be all and end all but at least it’s an objective starting point of a student’s competency.  Care to share your DCPS schools score?[/quote]

+ a million.

Signed,

Latino family[/quote]
