[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Also, [b]it will be extremely difficult for you to establish friendships with the parents[/b]. There is a provincial attitude and a strong level of resistance with some DC residents (especially those from the lower class black communities) against integration and diversity. So, you may encounter some negative attitudes and behaviors from the parents as well. [/quote] Everyone who has quoted this left out the most important sentence, which I bolded above. Give it a try OP, but don't be surprised if your experience isn't what you hope for. Hope for the best, and be prepared to make a plan B. I experienced some real harassment at the school where my child attended PreK that led to a very stressful school year for me. [/quote] I get the most resistance from the white upper middle class parents of our 99% FARMS school. This is also true of the families that have moved into our neighborhood. Everyone else is quite friendly. [/quote]
