[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is all good advice but a lot of it boils down to: if you are probably not going to stay somewhere past PK years, then you may as well go to your in bound. I think people like it this year. We were scared away from Bunker and the other DCPS in the neighborhood, but now I'm more aware that people are dissatisfied with a lot of charters beyond PK-K years as well. Those include: SSMA, CMI, Bridges, maybe Sela, Breakthrough. So, if you're likely to want to trade up anyways, may as well walk to school for a couple of years first. In other words, charters are not always better!!! However there is one elephant in the room which is that our DCPS often has zero white kids and probably zero gentrifiers. And by zero I really do mean zero.[/quote]

We know at least one white family that is having a good pk3 experience at Bunker Hill and heading back next year. [/quote]

Black and Latino families are also having a good PreK3 experience at Bunker Hill and heading back next year.[/quote]

Yikes PP didn’t even try to be coded.[/quote]

I think they were just saying there aren’t zero whites families. [/quote]

I'm the PP who made the comment about knowing a white family having a good experience at Bunker Hill. I'm a white parent of a white kid having a great experience at another DCPS with very few other white kids. I'm not sure its actually that helpful for people to try and speak in code about race and schools. I'd much rather just tell other white families who are new to the experience of being a racial minority in a given space that we love our school, and our kid has friends and is thriving. They should give a school a chance even if the experience of being in the racial minority feels new to them. [/quote]
