[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A reminder: "at-risk" means homeless, in the foster care system, eligible for benefits like SNAP or TANF, or a high school student who is one year or more older than the expected age for their grade. A child from a family that makes just enough to be ineligible for SNAP is not "at-risk," but many of them are still disadvantaged compared to the typical DCUM poster, who has income many times above poverty level, is college-educated, speaks English fluently, etc.[/quote] A good reminder. DC remains a highly divided city in many ways: we have the most privileged kids, educationally alongside many kids facing huge challenges. Our teachers face huge challenges in educating both groups well, along with children with learning disabilities, not to mention getting all of our kids caught up post-COVID. We owe our teachers a debt of gratitude.[/quote]
