[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long have you lived in the District, PP above?  We've been here 30 years now.  We were mugged in Petworth during the HW Bush administration. Each generation of gentrifiers talks exactly like you (in 10 years, it will all be very different).  Yet hardly any high SES parents stick with Title 1/overwhelmingly low SES schools past around 2nd grade.  Same situation all over the country.  Would love to be wrong.  Dead wrong.

I’m not trying to say it’s perfect here, but your stereotype from 10 years ago is out of date.

Also, people who introduce themselves like you have been moving the goal posts as long as I’ve been here.  First it was “Pk3 is ok but you’ll be gone by K”, then K was ok but not numbered grades, etc.  yes, some people leave. Other people come in. It’s ok.[/quote]

You sound naive.  Right, a dozen neighborhood elementary schools have improved dramatically EotP in the last decade.  Middle schools, a little.  High schools, hardly at all.  It's still not OK after ES. Too many of our longtime EotP friends have moved to the burbs because they couldn't crack Washington Latin, or even Hardy, BASIS, DCI or Stuart Hobson. [/quote]
