[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been in the NEC since 2004 and still live in the same townhome I purchased for $250K back then. Even at that time, the schools weren’t great. My son was 13 when we moved here, and he attended Benjamin Banneker Middle for two months before I picked up a second job to send him to St. Bernadette. For high school, I chose DeMatha, because even 20 years ago, the local options weren’t ideal.

By the time freshman year rolled around, I looked at the students at Banneker and thought, If this is the middle school environment, why would I send him to a local high school? And before anyone calls me racist, I’m a Black woman. I’ve been watching the bus stop near my house for 20 years now, and there’s no denying that the kids have gotten rougher. If I had a school-aged child today, there’s no way I’d send them to an NEC school—elementary, middle, or high.[/quote]
Well that’s a hot take, what do others think?[/quote]
