Are you seriously suggesting that this is something he, and other parents, should just accept as part of DCPS - just the cost of doing business?

Did you read anyplace where I made that suggestion?

Lets rewind the tape:

In other words, you don't feel comfortable putting your child in an environment where the students are the products of homes that allow them to call a 2nd grader a "cracker." My oh my, I imagine that you'll be sending your kids to the nearest convent real soon.

Seems pretty clear to me: HogWash wasn't making the suggestion at all. Clearly as an alternative you can send your kid to a convent.

Bottom line is, I'm not sending my kid to a school that has a population of uncontrolled delinquents either. Fortunately middle-class parents have options. The parents of poor kids usually do not. Which is why--when dealing with juvenile crime--the continual focus on the juvenile criminal is so frustrating. The focus should be on the needs of the majority of good kids that are subject to the disruptive (often violent) behavior of the few bad apples.
