[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, higher class people can move or pay for private. Education is too important to be left to chance or in the hands of those without a good track record. Otherwise, you see the results years later and they aren't pretty. [/quote][/quote] That may be true for a good chunk of middle-class parents, but I personally know many middle-class parents who've chosen to send their kids to their neighborhood DCPS school with the hope that an influx of middle-class students and the time/dedication/resources of their parents will improve the schools' academic performance. Regardless of what you think about this approach, it[i] is[/i] happening all over the city. So, no--not everyone is moving or paying for private. (That said, we're personally going the charter route, because I happen to agree with you about putting my kids in a school with crappy academic performance.)[/quote]
