Deal with it entitled people: the very people preventing a test in option are the "stagnant, old-school, retrograde" people who were part of creating the charter schools that you so desperately want entry to now.  Trying to keep the door even faintly open for lower SES families and families who don't have geographic advantages of being IB for great DCPS schools is NOT stagnant, and while I do hope there will some day be a way to figure out increasing applications and interest from families who already speak Mandarin or French or whatever, so that the pool of applicants includes more native speakers, I defend to the end the randomness of admission and the fact that kids who herwise wouldn't have a shot in a million years at speaking Mandarin and all the doors that may open to that child, that that child has a shot - a loooooong shot (like everyone else's long shot), but a shot nonetheless, at going to a school like Yu Ying.[/quote]

WTF?  How is DC going out of their way to serve high SES families or high achieving v kids?  Those are always after though.  DCPSjses high SES families to raises hundreds of thousands of dollars that inevitably be used for shit to help the third graders who can't read.  Ou don't like it? fuck you.  THe ONLY reason the scores are going up is due to high SES families.  [/quote]

Reading comprehension is not your sQtrength.  Neither is writing.  But that's cool.  When you have the ability to get mad at something I actually said, please do write again.  Cheers![/quote]

Hold on - the "retrograde, stagnant, old school" IMHO is NOT the charter school community - you are confused on that point - it continues to be the same DCPS political culture that resisted charters in the first place - and which now resists innovation and change, things like magnets, test-in or G&T because they are deathly afraid that it will end up with white kids, these are the same people who rail against gentrifiers, the same folks who cling to the old school "Chocolate City" image from the 1970s even as that image continues to melt.  It's the age old story of "we fear change".[/quote]

You really are a shit stirrer spewing your prejudices. I bet you are a relative newcomer in the city as well and think you know all about the comings and goings of the politics. If your position is that the DC citizens of old are holding onto change in the schools, who exactly do you think pushed for the charter movement and private school vouchers. Who do you think fled DCPS and into the new innovative charters that popped up everywhere except ward 3 in the city. Who do you think keep these charters, good and bad, afloat. And who do you think started the originally test-in DC schools, such as SWW and Banneker. You are a carpetbagger who thinks she is better and smarter than the people who have endured and been around fighting for change.

Thank you to the poster who coined this statement, but bitch, bye and take your ass back to Kansas. [/quote]
