[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So basically, if you are going to IT - you are going because you are white and scared of going to school with black kids?[/quote] I am assuming sarcasm here? If you I agree. If not my statements still holds. There are a lot of black kids on that waiting list too! We want to like our DCPS and in some ways do. But IT (many other charters) offer a lot more creative instruction & flexibility, more after care options and a bit more diversity in student & family population. It seem unrealistic to assume families are only looking at test scores when they select their top schools for the lottery. Commute, school style or environment, feeder patterns, specials, clubs, sports, aftercare (and costs), family engagement, levels of diversity, of course academics as well. It just seems to narrow and stupid to think test scores are the only thing that matter or that is the main part of any kids school experience.[/quote]
