[quote=Anonymous]I'm a city person: born in one, raised in another, I was over 35 before I got my driver's license. I went to public school and sent my kid to public schools. Diversity is important to us. And DC is shattering every conviction I've ever had, now that we're on the verge of middle school. I have no fear of black people, or poverty, or concerns about my child's academic progress--I am just exhausted. I like our current charter well enough, but I'm tired of being in one or the bleeding edge older kid classes, where every other parent is looking for a lottery ticket out, where no one socializes, and where every thing seems like a struggle. I'm tired of seeing gross inefficiencies, tired of driving an hour every morning and another hour in the afternoon, to do a crosstown commute. I'm just tired, dc. [/quote]
