[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think anyone here said anything about race.  I certainly wouldn't want to send my kids to Damascus High School and isn't that all white kids?  Race doesn't have anything to do with how RM is but funny how everyone always jumps the gun at that.  It is not a top school which is why it was picked to have the IB program in it.  This isn't rocket science here.  The magnet and IB programs go in the lower performing schools.  Lower performing schools = [b]more kids that don't give a crap vs that do and more uninvolved parents[/b] than involved.   People give RM all these great grades and actually move into the area thinking it is a great school.  Take out the IB and many other MCP high schools blow it away.  [/quote]

Not necessarily.  Maybe more kids who haven't had the same advantageous, language-rich upbringing and more parents who work two jobs to support their families and don't have a cultural orientation towards involvement in school.  [/quote]

My husband and I both work jobs 40-50hrs a week.  I am still involved in my both my kid's schools.  I take vacation days to volunteer at the elementary school and am on the PTA for both schools.  That statement is a cop-op to the lazies of this wold.   You either care and find a way or don't.   And the language issue, don't even get me started.... [/quote]

PP, if you are working 40-50 hours a week, you are not working two jobs. And you have paid vacation time, which you may schedule for when you want it. And you don't work in the evenings (assuming that your PTA meets in the evenings). And you have time and opportunity to post on DCUM during regular working hours. Can you understand that there are people who do not have the advantages you have?[/quote]
