MoCo is segregated East West

UMC+ Blacks in PG aren't using public schools either

no one purposely wants to be around the poors

There's nothing natural about it. It's the result of government policies.

Classes are still segregated generally with richer, whiter and more asian kids along with Africans taking more advanced classes

and poorer more black (but not Africans) and Hispanic kids taking lower classes

all this is does is just reinforce stereotypes. Still want to integrate schools now?

Also have you ever been to an integrated school cafeteria, kids generally sit with whoever they have classes with and just like with human housing settlement patters you have segregation by table/neighborhood

I can't believe that in 2019, people are still saying that segregated schools are just fine.

Actually I can believe it, but it's depressing.

Yep, but I am not surprised.
HoCo is one of the areas that people who wished for a MoCo of 1970's move to.

HOCO seems ideal for the type of folks who look back on the years before civil rights and desegregation longing

Again what are you talking about????? HOCO is for people priced out of the good areas of MoCo and/or want more land vs being face to face with their neighbors in Bethesda. This isn't about race it's about class again everyone wants the best schools period and they will move to make it happen. Whites do it, asians, do it hispanics do it, blacks do it

And parents who disagree are of course welcome to move their kids to lovely SE DC.

And everyone wins

Have you been to SE DC lately? It's not 1985 anymore.

They aren't talking about Capital Hill. The real SE ... across the river.

So most of SE DC is fake SE DC?

If you are talking about within a few blocks of 1st and C St NE DC, yeah, that is not real SE DC

Yep, you haven't been to DC in decades.

The kids involved in the violent fight at Magruder were apparently white. (It's interesting that you assume otherwise.) But maybe their parents didn't go to top colleges, or something.

Again. This thread isn't about race. It's about economic segregation. I haven't assumed anything other than the reason people want to avoid certain things when sending their kid to school.

I'm about to tear my hair out. In 2019 no one is stopping anyone from buying anywhere period. There is no government policy.

Apparently you haven't read or watched a local news report on the state of DC public schools, including in SE in just as long.

Government policy is determining which neighborhoods (usually segregated by income) goes to which schools

Who makes the decisions about who is allowed to build what where? Who makes the decisions about how people can get from here to there? Who makes the decisions about schools? Who makes the decisions about who is allowed to work and under what conditions? Who makes the decisions on what gets taxed and how much?

Not to mention that the world did not come into being on January 1, 2019. All of the past decisions about all of this stuff also still affect us.

Brent Elementary School, for example? 8 out of 10 on GreatSchools. So is Watkins Elementary School. Both in Southeast.

Magruder is not a high-poverty high school.

So how is this relevant to the thread?

It's not wealthy either... which was the point of this thread.

Neither of these are across the river in the real SE.

Using schools in neighborhoods where lobbyists, Congressional staffers, etc live doesn't really prove your point.
