[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank goodness for the charter middle schools. The conversation about MS and HS on the Hill has become so loaded that it’s no longer worth having. If you’re fine with Hobson don’t expect the rest of us to appreciate that. We’re not racist, we’re just angry that DCPS doesn’t care about serving most neighbors at what is supposed to be a neighborhood school.  The test scores are 29 years behind the demographics of the catchment area. [/quote]

This.  Calling everyone racist because they want the overwhelming majority of kids to be at least on grade level.  That’s not even asking for much when the kids who are inbound typically are.

These people use the race card to attack people who question a school’s poor performance.  They don’t get it that it just turns away even more the families that they want.

I would like for all kids to be performing at grade level (for their own sake, not to "match the demongraphics" of Ward 6).  Meanwhile, I do believe that my kid is smart enough to be able to do well even if he's in the (gasp) top quarter of the school.  [/quote]

Also nobody asked you to "appreciate" the fact that many Hill families are satisfied with Hobson. On the contrary, posters like you seem dead set on demanding recognition that they aren't satisfied. It's weird. You realize that the fact that families are good with SH has nothing at all to do with the fact that you chose Basis or whatever? You're the one who's making this into a loaded conversation. If you wanted to unload it, you'd actually listen to the posters satisfied with SH instead of being weirdly threatened by them and calling them "boosters". [/quote]
