[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The irony of all these mean comments is that Mann in particular probably has the highest share of truly multilingual students of any DCPS or charter school…[/quote]

Sure Karen. So much diversity in Mann- a 66% white school. Definitely. Sure. [/quote]

PP is talking about multilingual students, you know, you can be white AND multilingual.[/quote]

The critical thinking skills at play here are impressive. Apparently multilingual = not white in this person’s mind. [/quote]

Oh you’re right. Because so so many white kids in ward 3 speak so many other languages. Sure!

Double down Karen.[/quote]

This may sound shocking to you, but Mann’s catchment area is full of diplomats (embassy/ world bank/ IMF) and these kids speak languages other than English at home. I looked at my DC’s class list and 13/18 kids in their class speak a language other than English at home (and several speak more than one). And yeah, last I checked, the children of Italian or Romanian or Polish diplomats are considered white. This, along with plenty of kids from South America, Asia, and maybe a third American-born, is the profile of Mann’s student body.  Stop calling me Karen. You are ignorant.[/quote]

Did your dc’s class and they TELL you that information? Bc that would be a violation of privacy. You can lie to yourself if that makes you happy. I DGAF.

I had such a good time sharing this post and giggling about it with people. Yeah, all the diplomats only live in Mann. And I also love how you seem think that white people speaking is better somehow than lamb full of Central American… right?

You disgust me. Go back to scrutinizing your child’s school list for black/brown people you will accidentally exclude from your child’s parties. [/quote]

You sound unhinged.  And I say this as an AA person who chose not to live in district for Mann (bought in CC DC instead) because of the lack of the kind of diversity that was important to me (other AA students), but witnessed PLENTY of international diversity there.  What the PP said is true - a lot of embassy kids are zoned for Mann and it's evident in the school's population.[/quote]
