[quote=Anonymous]All parents look for the best schools for their kids. white and more well-off parents don't want to segregate, want goods schools for their kids so they can get an education and good jobs. the most coveted public HS (excluding application schools) is Wilson, which is over 50% minority kids. talk about segregation.

and all parents do it, look at the number of minority kids who attend Wilson as OOB. my kid's best friend, a AA child, lives on the opposite side of town and her Black parents put her in various public schools through lottery until in 8th grade their child got a spot at Hardy.

I am also not surprised that parents of kids in high poverty areas are less represented on DCUM. lack of computers, Internet access, maybe working two or more jobs our of the house all day makes difficult to even find the forum.

I think the conclusion should have been that when privileged parents (which means any parent who can choose) choose, they choose the best school for their kids they can find. I am not sure where the segregation comes from [/quote]
