[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most parents, myself included, appreciate diversity and agree that one can learn from it, but most parents, myself included also believe learning experiences should not come by way of being assaulted on school grounds.

But attacking the messenger and diverting from the fact that there are still some deep problems here and there is not going to cut it.[/quote]

You sound like someone who's never stepped foot in an urban public school.  Do you honestly think these things routinely occur in most of our schools?  Especially for ECC and ES  these sorts of things rarely occur.  At worst, you may see some disruptive behavior, but the rap sheet on 3rd graders in DCPS is pretty slim.

You honestly sound like someone who is just scared of _________ (insert "other" that implies)[/quote]

Check your assumptions at the door.  Matter of fact is I lived on the border and went to one of the most notorious urban schools for Mexican gangs.  I saw more than my fair share of violence and crime in school.[/quote]

...and yet you're here sounding like an elitist snob. Maybe a therapist would be a better use of your time than trolling DCUM[/quote]

Not elitist, realist.  My comments are based on actual life experiences.  And yet here you are, trying to deny it all.  From my perspective, you are the one trolling.  Nothing you can ever say will change actual experience.[/quote]
