[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are not many but there are some white/high SES families in the upper grades.  Maybe talk to them?  Clearly they are having positive experiences or they wouldn't stay.  Maybe LT really is "the best kept secret on the hill."[/quote]

I talk to them, regularly.  They have the patience of saints.  More power to them, although they aren't exactly mainstream for Stanton Park gentrifiers.  The high-SES families I know at LT past PreK are lovely people, lovely, super liberal on-the-verge-of-hippie people.   Most of us are more middle of the road, socially and politically.

Do they think their children are getting a quality education? Do they like the teachers? Do their children feel safe and welcome? Are their children making friends and building positive relationships with their classmates? [/quote]

CAN THIS PLEASE BE ANSWERED.  BECAUSE IF THE ANSWERS ARE YES THAT SAYS A LOT AND PERHAPS A LOT OF THIS NONSENSE CAN STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]

Still no answer...Once this is answered we can stop this crazy back and forth.[/quote]

I know two families w/white parents and white/Asian kids attending ... I want to say 2nd and 3rd grades(?) at LT.

Although I am on friendly speaking terms with the parents, I do not feel comfortable quizzing them so I can publish their responses on DCUM.[/quote]

But you know enough about their politics to label them as hippies.  Interesting...

Also please elaborate on "the patience of saints"[/quote]

Sorry for any confusion -- I'm 12:34 (not comfortable quizzing), but I'm NOT the same as the hippies/"patience of saints" poster. I'm actually a K parent at LT and a supporter of the school in this thread. & like I said, I am on "hey, how are you?" terms with a couple upper-grade parents whose kids aren't black, but I don't really know them outside of passing in the halls, I don't stop & have conversations with them about how school is going for their kids this year, and I DEFINITELY would not feel comfortable having that conversation with them with the intention of coming back here to report what they said (at least not without disclosing that to them -- and somehow "Hey, can I post what you say on DCUM" doesn't seem like a good conversation-starter).

As a white K parent at LT, I am VERY happy with how things are going so far for my child & feel very positive about the school -- she's learning a lot in a safe & respectful environment and has friends of varying ethnicities.[/quote]
