[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hundreds of UMC families in this city with children in acceptable public elementary schools will be faced with middle school choices with little or no appeal once lottery results come out in next month.

PPs like the "racist dog whistle" poster above can call us names to try to shame us into agreeing with them, or just shut us up.

Alternatively, the discussion can turn constructively to how school system leaders and city politicians are largely to blame for our failure to enroll in a DC public middle school, and what can be done about that in the short, medium and long term. [/quote]

I'm intrigued by how freely folks are throwing around "UMC" in this thread, given how everyone on DCUM claims to be just plain middle class despite being objectively rich.

However, it is still worth engaging and asking PPs to defend the idea that only a school with a critical mass of "UMC" families can possibly be a viable choice. What about plain middle class families like mine (single mom, $140K HHI, bright and well-supported kids). Are my kids also the ones you are trying to avoid? [/quote]
