[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He sounds like a sweet, academic boy. I think putting him in a place with FARMS and low expectations is the wrong thing, if only to see more diversity in the classrooms.

Putting him in a well funded and successful school with better college outcomes is more in tune with the sound of this kid. He will thrive and not face gangs or daily hassles, because [b]those better funded schools have really strict policies that stop bad behaviors.[/b] [/quote]

This is hilariously untrue. To the extent that MCPS is struggling to deal with student behaviors post-Covid, it is true of every school in the county and particularly every high school. Here's a tip - every school in MCPS is a "place with FARMS." Some schools have higher poverty than others, but I would honestly rather have my child at Einstein with a bunch of hard-working Ethiopian kids than at Whitman with kids who know there can never be a consequence for their actions due to their race/wealth. That's actually a much more dangerous environment for a Black boy because white kids are often not aware of how their own behavior is excused while exposing their Black friends to tremendous danger.

I think you're confused. Whitman is not a private school that caters to rich people and their badly behaved kids. It kicks kids out who need kicking out. There is a zero tolerance policy that is enforced to do with hate behaviors and bullying. Both my kids at Whitman benefit from this hugely. As a parent I know this first hand.[/quote]

Are you a parent of a black child? [/quote]

I am a parent of more than one immigrant / foreign child with noticeable language and cultural differences.

Is that good enough for you?[/quote]
