[quote=Anonymous]It's a matter of degree, and many do not like to be characterized this way. Generally these people are comfortable joining the larger cohorts of people like themselves where they can, even where they remain minorities. It can be better to be part of the 25% white and upper class minority at a mostly black charter school in terms of getting curriculum tailored to your kids needs - generally, a need for on or above grade level rather than remedial programming - than part of a 5 percent or less at a supposedly gentrifying DCPS where your child can be one of few on grade level. But it's far from a private school education. The school can't literally segregate, but through effort and interest, people can tend to cluster.[/quote]
