No way will I send a child of mine to a DC public high school.


That's ridiculous. My son is at Banneker and that would NEVER happen at Banneker. Never.


This shouldn't happen at ANY SCHOOL THAT GETS TO HAND-PICK THEIR KIDS!

I'm getting that she is a flagrant booster of Eastern High School and has a very recognizable atypical writing style that includes hyperbole and unsupported assertions with racist overtones.


The racism of Word Salad is not in overtones, it is blatant.

Word Salad lady, what color is the sky in your world? This is an ignorant comment, even for you. And that's saying something.


+1, was thinking the same thing. she might as well sign her posts.

If this were footage of a fight between white McLean and Langley students at the school or at a bus stop, there is no way there would be statements such as "and this is why I will never send my child to FCPS."

My kid was safe in her DC public high school. It was when she went to private school that she was sexually assaulted. She also got drugs and alcohol from her addicted rich friends. (Hmmm, at least two heroin addicts that I knew of. I'm sure there were more.)

You folks do what you want but upper middle class white kids are pretty good at hurting each other in very serious ways and getting away with it. Your kid has a lot more to fear from his/her rich white friends than from the average working class/poor black kid at DCPS. But I know that it's even pointless to raise this in this forum when the fear has gripped everyone by the throat.


So, you are a masochist, opting to pay more to suffer more?

All the bad stuff happens off campus. Now that there are MPD officers all around the perimeter blocks of Wilson -- which I can see daily with my own eyes -- the fights and beefs and heck, probably gun posturing, happen still but way off campus. Like in gallery place, for instance.


Gun posturing? Is there gang activity at Wilson? Where do IB families send their kids to high school if not Wilson? I mean obvious there are the Sidwell Friends and G'town Visitation kids, but what about families who don't want to/can't throw down the $35k+ per year for high school?[/quote

This is of course why poor children and their families refuse to send their kids to places like NCS, Maret, and Sidwell Friends. They're simply too dangerous to attend. You should write a column on this subject in Slate.

What happened to your sister was horrible and I'm sorry. I'm the PP who linked to the article about a freshman getting beat to a pulp by 17 and 18 year old "freshman."

Another poster was quick to point out that it happened 5 years ago. That is probably comforting if you have a 4 year old, but my oldest is off to high school next year.

I'm happily paying for private. I know it won't be perfect, but I'm pretty confident my DC won't get the shit kicked out of him by an 18 year old baby thug.
