[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The SWW test is just not that hard. A child with educated parents, who presumably lives in a language-rich home, and who reads, will pass it. And a child from a well-known political family will get through the interview phase.

This is exactly my point, as I mentioned above Malia surely has gaps in her education due to high absent teacher call outs, the unstable admin at the school and substitute teachers who might not be very familiar with the DCPS curriculum. Also, lets be honest, substitutes usually babysit rather than actually teach content material —-unless you are in private school. Those gaps that Malia may have, might be mitigated if her parents have gotten or will get her a private tutor. Do people on this thread really think that her parents are going to disclose that she *might* have a tutor or may get one in the future? While her father didn’t seem to balk at the idea that his daughter was learning how to play cards during academic learning time, it doesn’t mean in real life he wasn’t appalled. Many of us would promptly get a tutor if this were the case for our own children in a DCPS high school. Surely, people aren’t relying on DCPS to be the sole educator in their children’s lives??!!

I don’t know why some people refuse to accept that Eliot Hines isn’t a viable middle school option. Perhaps they need to create a false narrative in order to sell their home to prospective new buyers. [/quote]
