Of course she's right.  There is no room, no thought, no plan in the system whereby poor or OOB children are to be kept out of a school.  None.  Zero.  Zip.  Nada.  And when maybe half of them overall can read on grade level?  Nor should there be.

You need to get it into your heads that if you want to build a moat around your snowflake, then send him to private school.  [b]DCPS absolutely will not keep those bad OOB kids away from him.  DCPSs job is educate everybody, and considering how badly they do that job, don't think for a second that DCPS is going to keep kids out of Hardy just for you.[/b]

I fully appreciate that DCPS will not for a second alter its plans to meet the educational needs of my DCs, PP.  That's why I've given up on DCPS for MS and switched to a HRCS.[/quote]

It seems like you are defining your DCs needs solely as "don't be near poor people."   There is no reason DCPS can't educate the children of poor people and your snowflake together  - in fact, if you see previous post, re: the experience of IB families at Hardy, they do that just fine.  But no, DCPS won't and shouldn't isolate your child from whatever you think the ill-effects are of being around students that are not as wealthy or as white as your child.

Also, not to be tedious, but Hardy is in fact altering plans to meet the needs of IB families - they are adding extra differentiation, honors classes, and the SEM program.   So again, the fact that you are ignoring these effforts makes it appear as if the only issue you care about is the "problem" of your snowflake rubbing elbows with poor brown kids.[/quote]
