[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I would find my IB less horrible if they sepearated the high achieving students into their own classroom by 2nd grade. I have a feeling there would be a LOT more interest from the high SES families for the IB if the schools did that. DCPS is determined to screw us over. I wil let a lot slide in ps/pk and K. But by second or third grade, no I don't want my kid stuck in a classroom where the majority of the class is still on the K level. So we will bail. and to the asshole who think we shoudl just make more money. Thank for the reminder that our 265k annual salary is stil not enough for us to "buy" our public education at an acceptable level. You are an ass.

Clearly, you don't know how to manage your money. That's why your child attends a terrible school. Instead of calling people asses for speaking the truth, either make more money or manage your money better. The truth stings, huh?[/quote]

I really have to agree with 2nd PP.    That HHI can get you a safe roof over your head in ANY zip code in the greater Washington area.  Some will have better schools than other zip codes.  Some will have better commutes.  Some of the homes that you can secure in a safe neighborhood with solid schools won't have as much square footage as 1st PP might like.

That's your problem, 1st PP.   Your bitter sneering hostility to those that 1. have more than you or 2. made different choices than you did is kind of gross.    And funny.   And there are a lot of you on DCUM lately, panicking because your gamble isn't paying off on all fronts.   [/quote]

+100.  The sense of entitlement from some of these posters is overwhelming!  If you make $265K per year (or even half that amount), and you can't afford to rent/buy in the neighborhood of your choice...that's your problem; not mine.  Although I live IB for JKLM, I will take any charter seat that I think is a better fit for my child.  I don't have to justify that choice to anyone.    [/quote]

Would it be more fair if she lived EOTP and still sent her kid to a charter school? How is that better?

I think the poster saying she makes 265 combined said she lives in bounds for Janney and chooses to send her child to a charter.  Which is exactly why I find it selfish.  Someone making that kind of money could live anywhere, yet chooses to live inbound to a great school PLUS takes a charter spot in a less desirable part of town.  [/quote][/quote]
