[quote=Anonymous]I’ll jump in here to add another perspective. I’m white and my kids are Hispanic Spanish speakers and we are at one of the dual language schools and intend to send them all the way through if that works.

So maybe we’re different from your baseline of Walls/Bannker/Wilson are the only DCPS choices.

I’m willing to take it as far as it works. At this point the kids are way past their peers academically in some subjects but not others. I want them to get a chance to advance academically as would suit them. I don’t need them to get a pressure cooker education or get through college material before they graduate high school (though given their current progress a Coolidge early college or BASIS would probably work for them). I just want to know they are working hard, learning and picking up the skills to work hard and succeed as an adult.

All this to say that we’re proceeding as if Roosevelt is happening. Our kids could end up in classes that don’t suit them and then we make new decisions. But if the classes are fine, that’s what we’re going to do. [/quote]
