[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for posting the link. One of the more nuanced pieces I have read about integration in rapidly changing cities. Getting deep into the history and analyzing individual decisions is key- broad statistical measures aren't necessarily all that helpful unless they are broken down on a school-by-school and sometimes even grade-by-grade basis, because that's how parents make decisions. A lot of the issue for parents is not wanting to be the first mover, or the last leaver. So its essentially a coordination and game theory problem, operationally. Of course the history and human nature of racism/tribalism/classism/understandable protectionism around kids all play a role in motivating these decisions.[/quote]
