[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course it's not the main problem. I'd much rather send my kid to a MS version of Banneker than Hobson.

Four or five years ago, a video clip from a city council hearing circulated widely on Cap Hill. In the clip, you heard Dave Grosso asserting that racism explained why almost all IB Brennt parents reject Jefferson Academy, where only around 20% of students tested proficient on the PARCC and no honors classes were offered.  That clip pissed a lot of us off.[/quote]

This.  If people would acknowledge the actual problem, which is that DCPS is woefully underserving all the kids especially those that are at-risk, then maybe we could make some progress.  Denying the problem and attacking people for wanting an adequate school is not going to fix anything.

Yes! If we could only just acknowledge the problem then it could be easily and quickly fixed. Public education reform is just that easy.

I wonder if people like you read what they wrote before hitting send. [/quote]

Who said that?  I said "maybe we could make some progress".  [/quote]
