This school is rated below average in school quality compared to other schools in Washington DC. Students here perform below average on state tests, have below average college readiness measures, and this school has below average results in how well it’s serving disadvantaged students.

I'm 42 and work at a law firm with a lot of old white men. I'm white. My friends and I refer to them as "the grandpas." As in, "the grandpas are meeting on the 25th floor." Or, "I have a meeting with two of the grandpas to get notes on the amendment to the Bezos agreement."

They absolutely do read. TV no, mine has never watched tv or really even streaming.

I know his name, but not his face. I care more that the kids can code than they can recognize the face of a billionaire.

white dudes between the ages of 40 and 60 tend to get mixed up... with me and all others.


Right? Probably I'd recognize him but he looks like a pretty average middle aged bald guy.

I'm certain that neither of my well read upper middle class white kids would recognize him.

I can see knowing his name but not necessarily his face. My 10 year old would know him by name but not face. After the cheating/divorce, not as many people respect him or care.

I don’t know, I kinda love sh#thead teens. They say what everyone is thinking since they haven’t quite learned to be political in these types of social situations.

How ignorant are these students? What an embarrassment.
only about three of her 15 or so students recognized Bezos.
