[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to think DCUM was very pro charter but this thread makes me think the DCPS contingent has won out. [/quote]

No, DCUM is stridently pro-DCPS.  I think this is because DCUM is largely WOTP, where the DCPS's are decent.  But then these posters act like they are doing god's work, etc etc etc by supporting unions, blah blah blah.[/quote]

Nah. There are lots of parents on here who gave DCPS schools like Payne and Garrison and shot and are happy.

This. In Bloomingdale and ended up "pleasantly surprised" (in quotes because every single other PK family said this over and over) with our DCPS school 7 years ago, whereas every family I know that lotteried into MV, CM, and TR has since left the school, sorely disappointed. ITS and Yu Ying seems to be places where families stuck around, though.[/quote]

What's the IB MS and HS in Bloomingdale and will you be sending your child there.[/quote]

I mean, right back atcha for charters. With the possible exception of DCI feeders,  there’s no charter elementary with a clear path to MS and HS feeders. [/quote]

This mistake is to send your kids to charters in elementary in hopes of a better middle school path.  Your kids will be starting middle school with sub-par academics from their charter.  You are better off getting a more solid education and experience at DCPS in elementary and then figuring out middle school when you get there through lottery etc.  I’m not quite sure why people are discounting McFarland.  The scores may reflect the population rather than academics and teaching quality of teachers. Everyone I’ve spoken to thinks well of teachers and principal. [/quote]

I am sure your Kids are getting a great education at their Low performing DCPS. I really don’t want my kid to be the smarter in their classroom.[/quote]
