[quote=Anonymous]08:56 Amen from another sister who could have written your post as well. The unhinged poster has been all over this forum lately. I will just have to pray for her because she has the precise type of negative attitude that I have no interest in being around or having my children around. My kids go to a very diverse school for DC which no one is running away from because the parents there are fully engaged with their kids as well as the school. And for what it's worth, I don't think DCPS is failing. I think it has actually gotten better. Ten years ago there was no way I would have put my kids in DCPS. I would have surely gone private. Today, I see the system making real efforts to improve even though the wheels of change turn slowly in government. I also think there are far too many parents in DC who are failing their kids and looking at DCPS as a scape goat. My heart cries for these children. My sister is a social worker. The vast majority of DCUM posters could not imagine in their worst nightmare the environments many of these children are somehow managing to navigate through. The stories are hearbreaking--and every one of these children have a story, so be careful when you judge them. They need soooo much. Some of the brokeness is beyond DCPSs ability to fix.[/quote]
