[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi All,

I am the OP and I really appreciate your insight and thoughtful responses. It's funny much of what has been said here is how I feel.[b] I often times feel that we have to keep quiet and lay low because the school may find reasons to counsel DC out or they may reduce our FA money to ensure DC won't return.[/b] DC is doing extremely well in school (top in class according to teacher) and to be honest no one has ever shared that DC is a behavior problem. However, there have been a few issues that made me think twice about the environment and question the handling of certain situations. It's almost like a battle that can't be won. Where are AA parents educating their AA children specifically boys because to be frank public school isn't much of an option! BTW DC attends a so-called BIG 3 and has been for the last 8 years. These issues are not new just trying to figure out how to get a handle on it before it effects our entire family!

Again thank-you to all that have replied![/quote]

Wow! That is exactly how I feel most of the time. Sometimes I wonder if I am doing more harm than good for my child because I think I  am teaching them to "let things slide." I do not have a public option and it is very stressful when you see things that need to be addressed and have to worry about how the school will react to you and your child. I would love to know which schools do not make FA parents feel this way.  Who knows, it could be all in my head...somehow I do not think so.[/quote]

I know someone who paid Mont.Co. to attend BCC H.S. rather than attend a private school or D.C. Public school.  Maybe that's a solution.[/quote]
