[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to say it, but I suspect your "not a good fit" excuse about your IB is just a veil for your racism. Let me guess...you're IB is Bancroft but there are too many latino kids for your liking. Or Shepherd, too many black kids for your liking. Just stay put at your charter, OP. [/quote]

+1. [/quote]

+2, I also guessed it was one of these schools based on her OP, and follow-up posts saying she's "fighting for the school" but it's "not an option" for her own kids.[/quote]
white savior syndrome[/quote]

+1 and this whole "fight to improve it" is sickening. OP, be honest with yourself and embrace your prejudice. [/quote]

Except the OP's children are already in a bilingual charter, which generally means considerable diversity (unless it's Stokes). [/quote]

Thank you. OP here. Yes, my kids go to a very diverse charter school (not Stokes). I'm surprised that some posters overlooked my questions regarding the special needs program and jumped to the conclusion that I must be racist if I don't send my kids to our IB DCPS. Our IB DCPS has a terrible SN program, as many parents (most who are POC) warned me about. That's why it's not a good fit. There are lots of reasons a school might not be a good fit for a particular child. [b]I also clearly stated that I'm not willing to fight for our IB DCPS. [/b]

Thanks to the poster who mentioned that if we go to Key then they could move us to any DCPS if they can't/won't meet DC's special needs. This is very helpful information.

If I was just looking for a whiter school then I would have jumped at the chance to go to Key without first trying to determine if it would be a better fit than our charter school.

Not sure what the bolded means, but here's what you said.

[quote][b]Our IB school isn't a good fit and we're not willing to send our kids there and hope we can fight to improve it.[/b][/quote][/quote]

Yeah OP, be careful how you wore things because you made it sound likes it’s a bad school all around.[/quote]
