[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you talking about WIS?  I'm mean, yes, it's awesome that a charter as new as DCI is being compared to the most expensive private school in DC, but still. This is irrelevant. [/quote]

You should read the thread before asking silly questions.  Do you honestly think that someone just started to post about WIS without any context?

Btw, I'm sure that DCI is also flattered to be mentioned in the same sentence as WIS.  However, the reason it's being mentioned is not a compliment to DCI.  WIS isn't just an expensive school, it's far superior on just about every objective measure to DCI (and I have no doubt that will remain the case).  The best that DCI can hope for is to be considered the poor person's alternative to WIS. [/quote]

So those of us who can't afford 37k in tuition are "poor?"[/quote]

Apparently so. I never understand why some people go on this thread specifically to make people feel bad. I am sure many people would prefer to send their kids to WIS instead of DCI or Sidwell over Wilson. But frankly that's not in the cards for us. Good for you for being able to afford one of the most expensive private schools in the world. I'm super happy DCI exists, even if it doesn't have the amenities of WiS. [/quote]

There is no chance that the person posting the DCI/WIS comparisons is a WIS parent. Just a general troublemaker. [/quote]

Oh yeah for sure.  Seriously WIS has a lot of problems.  First of all, it's almost impossible to get in the Spanish immersion program.  Secondly, they will go after you vigorously if you decide to pull your kid.  You owe them the full year of tuition, and they will sue you for it.  Third, it's really expensive, and it's not all that clear you can't get a better education elsewhere for less money from a more prestigious school.  Or you could send your kid to DCI and have them learn Mandarin, Spanish, or French for free.  It's not the same as a free private school, but I don't think WIS is 37,000 dollars better either.  That's just my opinion though. [/quote]
