[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is fascinating to me that there would be Republicans (1) living in the District in (2) a neighborhood with enough _[xyz whatever__] residents right around you to make the assigned school "struggling."     So not in Spring Valley or Kent.

Was it accidental?

And to be on point, I cannot think of a single Republican parent with a child at a PCS.   But surely there are a handful, as you see on this thread so far.[/quote]

I'm a republican who lived in Shaw for 10 years.  But great stereotyping there.[/quote]

You came to Washington to work in policy, I assume.  Either on the Hill, a think tank, an NGO.  Possibly, at a law firm. Not saying there are no Republicans in DC, bc obv there always have been a small percent.  I am suggesting that it is very, very uncommon IM(25 yr)E to see a Republican parent, with school age children, choosing to live in a neighborhood with schools that struggle due to the traits of the IB kids.

Be honest:  do you have children that you send to public school in the District?   Does a single Republican neighbor of yours in Shaw send their kid, [u]over age 5,[/u] to Seaton or Garrison or similar? [/quote]

Jumping in to defend my republican neighbor here, downtown/shaw liberal resident, up until 2 years ago, no liberal families were sending their children there either.

Unlike the rest of DC, we in mid-city care more about our neighbors then the rest of you do.  There are republicans, dems, Green Party, libertarians and all sorts living here.  That's why we are different. We don't judge based on a label.

Now, go back to your rock.[/quote]
