[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janney teachers are not prepared to take at-risk kids.   The only reason Janney is high performing is the students come from families that are highly educated.   The teachers are average at best and many have serious classroom management issues in the case when there is a child who is disruptive.    Yes - the environment is better than most schools across DCPS - but it is not the end all be all.[/quote]

Cause you rich privileged kids are never disruptive??? Try again. [/quote]

[b]You think rich elementary aged kids with two parents are as prone to behavior issues as at risk kids with impoverished home lives[/b], a uneducated parent and society as a whole crapping on them every chance they get.  I would say “try again” to be cute but I doubt you can do better. Look at suspension rates for poor dc kids and you can rationalize all you want but it is magnitudes higher and the administration is black so what exactly is your excuse? [/quote]

Yes, the behavior may present different in elementary school (lots of disrespect and entitlement) coming from a well educated UMC white household vs. at risk kids growing up economically disadvantaged (acting out physically, for ex.) but the end result is disruption in the classroom. Then these kids migrate to each in middle school and the real problems begin.[/quote]
