Oyster has a mile long wait list.

Bancroft is nowhere near my house.

Season isn’t much better than Mundo and is not bilingual.

But to you we should be happy to be educated right? Brown is brown.

Maybe not in pre-K, but by kindergarten there are seats at many better schools without these issues, just not at HRCSs with a DCI preference…


You are assuming that all families have resources to get their kids to those other schools, among other assumptions.


Please do describe a person who can get their child to Mundo P St but not to Seaton or Langley.


Oh please. Your privilege is showing.


Okay. Oodles of people are so disadvantaged that they literally can't travel even a few more blocks. Tons of them.


Not everyone speaks English. Not everyone wants to leave a school where they’ll be treated like a second class citizen.

Dc generally treats Latinos like garbage. As a Latino person I frankly don’t feel comfortable sending my kids to a dcps school.

Your privilege is showing.


Well, being so mistreated you feel compelled to protest in the streets sounds like a better option, then. I guess.


I would rather protest in the streets than have my kids siphoned off to ESOL the second they struggled instead of being evaluated for special education services.


Then I wish you a very happy time at Mundo Verde, the school you are choosing to attend.


Imagine being the kind of person that is happy that a formerly quality dc school is struggling, especially one that really appealed to a marginalized community. Imagine being thrilled that a community is falling apart.

You should apologize for your disgusting personality.


I'm not thrilled about it at all. I sincerely wish you all the best at the school of your choice. It's sad to me that you think Mundo Verde is your only option, but okay, you make the call.

I'm not at all happy that Mundo Verde is struggling, but I am happy that parents are finally opening their eyes to the very serious management and leadership and teaching quality problems that have been there all along. I think the only hope for Mundo Verde to pull out of its downward spiral is a candid acknowledgement of the issues, and a replacement of all top leadership. Will it happen? I doubt it. But it's not any better to hush up the problems and continue doing a poor job of educating the children like they have done for the past few years. I hope that your child manages to have a good experience at Mundo Verde nontheless.


If you’re talking to me, I’m happy to say that yes I agree that we need to publicize the problems and ensure the school improves.

But most of your statements seemed to show undisguised delight that school children are suffering.

That’s so great Susan. Thanks!

What!! There are SO many DCPS schools that have huge Latino populations. Ours is just less than half Latino... Our principal is Latino, every grade has a special ESL teacher who pulls all ESL kids out to make sure they are doing well, and the kids are celebrated. They are happy. I encourage you to do some research.


I encourage you to do some research too Jennifer. My personal experience and that of many many others in a that in practice this is not the case. Please don’t speak on what you don’t know.

Also taking away another option from families like mine doesn’t IMPROVE things for Latino families.

Check the FARMs rate at MV. Just how many "marginalized" families are there?

NP but the word privilege just means nothing at this point. You’d rather stay at a school where you have to protest to demand math lessons for 3rd graders than go to a DCPS? Okay.
