[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is ridiculous. My children are at an immersion charter.[b] All students, from all backgrounds, of all races, are doing better than the kids at Tyler. [/b]

That mother quoted in the article doesn’t know anything about immersion. She’s just using that as an excuse to try to keep Tyler from becoming whiter, which is racist.

Saying that black kids couldn’t handle immersion is ALSO racist.

DCPS should do what it can to keep students of all races in the DCPS system. They’re hemorrhaging students to charters right now, especially on the Hill. [/quote]

That's because your charter only takes kids whose parents or guardians have it together enough to enter a lottery 6+ months before the school year starts and trek their kids across town to school each day. Your charter also doesn't have to take kids who move to the area mid-year, get kicked out of other schools, or who are in certain grades.

Tyler has to take everyone who lives in-bounds even if they come 3 days before the PARCC. If your school had to do that, how do you think the scores would change?[/quote]
