[quote=Anonymous]Stay in DC, idiots for your kids would surely sink in other big city's superior public middle and schools. If you're willing to substitute high-SES or Asian for white, look no further than NYC's eight academic magnet high schools, using the SSAT test for admission and that alone. Each has a student body that is more than half Asian and/or white. Asian parents, especially low-SES, simply don't want their kids in schools where most other parents don't value education as highly as they do. AA's generally don't, not by a long shot. How do I know? I'm, um, AA and a graduate of Boston Latin (an "exam" school). No charter here has a "strong attraction" for droves of middle class families above ES - more like a draw for those willing to make do to stay in DC. Get over yourselves. [/quote]
