[quote=Anonymous]I can understand you not wanting to do Wilson for your child--but don't kid yourself that private is all that different in terms of system from the academies. They are all a means of tracking higher performing kids whether you agree with this philosophically or not is another issue. And this is really is NOT only about white parents getting what they want--you just said that your child would have gotten into the academies but many upper middle class AA parents with options are not comfortable with Wilson so it becomes more of a SES breakdown rather than race alone. And this is not different from private education in many cases. It is just less obviously so as you don't have the kids with barely a 2.0 in the same school.[/quote]
