[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, asked the Q from the peanut gallery at a recent open house. The answer was so muddled that I'm not clear on what sort of honors classes contingency planning the young head would do if a whole bunch of Brenties were in the pipeline for 6th grade, and actually turned up. If JA had a SH type academic tracking set up in place before my child arrived, I'd consider it as a last resort before moving. But we wouldn't "jump" without upper and lower level classes for English, math, social studies and Spanish in place, and that arrangement doesn't sound like it's in teh cards. After many years in the 'hood, DCPS isn't an institution I'm prepared to put blind faith in.[/quote]

You need to operate with the truth that you will not have answers to these questions before you enroll your child at Jefferson.  You will need to engage intensely with the school once you are there to work out a situation on the fly because....as one pp said....it's "in your family values" to do so.  If it doesn't work to your satisfaction, your child will have had a "learning experience"for her 6th grade year and you can come up with a plan B.

If that doesn't sound acceptable to you--then your "family values" are shitty, you are racist, elitist and should gtf out of the neighborhood now.

I believe that sums up the argument?[/quote]
