[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster. The poster above sounds like a crazy privileged white woman.

Curious, where are you and the other person going to send their kids to middle school?

Re: comment on equity. How is it geographically  equitable for families who live in NE, like about 20 minutes or so away? They are clearly privileged if they have the resources and time to drive their kids to Chisholm. We need to take care of our kids, who happen to be minorities, that live in areas that aren't accessible. Wake up, equity is about race. Clearly you are white if you are preaching that it is about geographic. Get off your high horse. [/quote]

This ... doesn't make sense?  The whole point is that dual language students at Chisholm and Houston do not have a viable middle school dual language option.  They're instead told to go to MacFarland, which is an hour away from Chisholm by Metro, and even further from Houston.  All of the dual language DCPS middle schools are in or convenient to NW.  Houston and Chisholm are both Title I immersion schools that deserve a middle school dual language option for their students.  I don't really understand why this seems like a "crazy" or "privileged" position to take, no matter what race you are.[/quote]
