[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live on the Hill but send to private school in NW so I don't have the same school anxiety as the vast majority of parents in our area but my perception is that parents who are at SWS truly believe they've won the lottery - they can't afford to send to private or move to NW for better schools but because they are white UMC, they are terrified of their kids attending a majority non-white school. The sheer relief on their faces when they tell me that they are SWS is palatable. That plus the "well I'm a good person because I send my kid to public school" vibe. It's people who want private school but can't afford it and like to pretend they are good white people. [/quote]

I'm the PP - no, not pot...kettle. I don't pretend to be something I'm not. And we can afford private. Do what you want to do, but be honest about it. Don't pretend you're a good white person because you live on the Hill and send your kid to DCPS when you're sending them to SWS. I'm honest about who I am - paying for private to not deal with public school. Yes, I'm a shitty white person. [/quote]

Yes.  You are.[/quote]
