[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]All of the families saying that they will leave shows their selfishness and desire to only help their own children[/b], instead of working to support and improve the entire DCPS community. I'd be glad to see you all leave and make room for families who want educational equity for all students.[/quote]

wrong. we show that we are unwilling to have our lives messed up and our kids' education threatened in the name of an unreasonable (and ineffective) social experiment.  and we do not interpret "education equality" as we all get bad schools and we all have to move arund town so we are all equal.  and educated families want a good education for their kids, if they cannot get it in DCPS, they will go private or stay in VA and MD.

identify the schools that are doing bad, and the reasons they are doing bad, then work on them. hire the best teachers, add programs, diversify education according to the level of students. if students have issues and need extra help, give it to them. if a child does not know how to ready in 4th grade, get that child extra help so he can learn to read  at grade level (you can send the child to Deal and Wilson, but if he does not how to read, he won't go anywhere).  this means qual education to me, all kids, no matter what is their backround, get to go to a school with great teachers, good programs, and especially at the elementary level, the extra help they may need to learn how to read and write and math if they are not lucky enough to have a familt that supports them in their learning.
