[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Banneker has a ton of homework and very few boys. Not right for my family, but ymmv.[/quote]  This is true. My son is an 11th grade Banneker student.  Banneker is an amazing school, but it's def not a good fit for everyone.[/quote]

Agree but with all the super advanced kids in DCUM going to Basis and complaining that there is not tracking, you'd think the parents would be lining up to go to Banneker. But they're not. And the ONLY reason is because it is such a black school. Which is sad to me because these kids are the cream of the crop. Nobody should have any concerns about peers at this school.[/quote]

That is a load of crap. Go read the other thread on this and read all of the other reasons parent choose other schools. Honest to god I am so tired of this line of attack.[/quote]

Honest to God I'm so sick of having racist neighbors. Yes there have been many threads and while [b]many people consciously don't realize why the opt out of Banneker,[/b] many also say they don't want their kid to be an only. Black kids do it all the time. Your advanced high schooler is resilient and will learn a lot in that scenario but the parents have their own concerns (founded or not).[/quote]

I'm sorry, but you are truly sick to allege that every white parent who chooses a high school in the District of Columbia other than Banneker is subconsciously racist.[/quote]

+1.

PP had a mental problem.

Especially because Banneker is mediocre at best -- graduation rate is dismal, they just kick out half of the class, especially boys.[/quote]

Banneker is not mediocre.  Graduation rate is dismal?  Really?  It's true that the boys leave and I think DCPS needs to address this.  That being said, as a former parent whose son left, I still loved it.  It was a great group of kids.  I wish his dumbass could have gotten it together.[/quote]
