[quote=Anonymous]^a decade sounds optimistic, maybe two.... Latin AND former Deal parent. OP usefully draws attention to why there are few Asian kids with Asian parents (vs. adopted by non-Asian parents, probably more of these at Latin than the former) in our DC public schools to date. Fundamentally, it isn't great to be the only one, or one of the few, of anything...the only girl, guy, person in a wheelchair, white kid, black kid, whatever. DC1, at Deal, probably didn't need honors courses for challenge, but I don't think we'll stick with Latin for DC2, who's more advanced. The fine curriculum and teaching, and supportive community, can only do so much for the school when, yes, a good many kids are playing catch up from day one. Latin does really well with what it has to work with but can't compete with MoCo and Ffx. Wish it weren't so. We looked into switching to BASIS, but the Arizona team didn't seem all that clued into the DC mileu. [/quote]
