[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New schools won't help Ward 5. New parents might. THe reason why schools succeed isn't due to the new shiny buildings it's due to parental involvement (See: Eastern High). As long as the current demographics exist Ward 5 schools will remain at the bottom. Sad but true.[/quote]

Yeah, according to you, we are all worthless in Ward 5. You people amaze me. DC is so full of hypocrites like you PP. What kind of parents do you think we need over here in Ward 5. And, exactly what demographics should we begin to import. [/quote]

Problem is that Ward 5 parents that have any option do not use Ward 5 schools.  White and Black parents opt out.  It is more of a class issue. [/quote]

I really don't believe it's a class issue. I think it is a DCPS issue. I tried the local DCPS for about one month and then I opted DC out.  There is one Montessori school (Langdon) in the ward. I  cannot  think of any language schools. The PS -8 are lacking in science and advance math instructors. So tell me why would I send my DC to the local when I have choices. Before the charters existed, those who could, send their DC to parochial, private or OOB. Or, they simply moved to the burbs.

Believe me, I wanted to support the local school. I am a firm believer that lower income children should integrate with students with higher HHi. It helps them to raise their levels and see that their are options available outside their low income communities. [/quote]
