[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even so, white guilt and liberal prerogatives have a way of fueling naive optimism about school quality in DC's gentrifying neighborhoods. Kids often pay by jumping around between schools. I know well-meaning DCPS families who've gone with as many as four different public schools between PreS3 and 5th grade. Better to listen to those nagging doubts upfront. Hint: make an elementary school plan promoting stability. [/quote] Conversely, conservative hubris and racism have a way of fueling alarmist pessimism about school quality in DC’s neighborhood schools. Kids often pay by being sheltered in unnecessarily homogenized schools. I know well-meaning DCPS families who have helicoptered their kids and deprived them of great opportunities. Better to listen to the voice of reason up front. Hint: do more research and find out what’s really going on at the schools, then don’t listen to neighbors who just assume.[/quote]
