Disclaimer post

Just as disclaimer:

-I will not ever include the actual names of children that I teach (when necessary, pseudonyms are applied)
-nor any of the names of specific teachers in the school.
-nor post the name of the actual school.
-Similarly, I will never post pictures of any of the children, teachers, or the school
This is to protect their privacy.

Any criticism I may voice about the school, school administration, or individual teachers is an expression of my personal opinion and an attempt to share my personal experience honestly. I try to maintain a healthy balance of criticism and praise, but in case this balance is not always met, please be aware that I do have the highest regard for this school and these teachers and the incredibly challenging task both teachers and administration face.

Also, I may make some observations about race or low socioeconomic status families that may seem politically incorrect. This is only my attempt to honestly explore the meaning of human interaction and my experience in Washington D.C.  Not all of my observations are correct; many are surely biased. That is why I am here--to explore and overcome my personal biases and to learn to clearly understand the problems America faces through my own trial and error.
