[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a weird question about “why” the staff members are white. Do you think there’s some answer, like someone on here will tell you “oh yes, at Brent they only hire white teachers, they have an exception from DCPS rules so that they can be racist.”

And they don’t let you request teachers.[/quote]

I am asking why are they all mostly white, not why there are white staff members in general. DCPS itself literally states they try to match the teacher with the demographics of the school. The school isn’t 98% white.

And my best friend is a DCPS teacher, yes racism, accent bias, and the like exists in hiring practices (black, white, etc.).

I’m not sure why the question triggered you and you didn’t answer anything else.[/quote]

But I did answer something else. You can’t request teachers. Also, your question is still silly. You have a vague feeling that the teachers are “98% white” based on a tour. And you want an answer about why they are not 68% white. Nobody would be able to answer that question for you even if you were correct about the 98%, which you are not.

Look, I get that you only have one very young kid so far but you’ll have to take it down a few notches if you want to survive, and maybe even enjoy, having a kid in a DCPS school. Chill out and stop looking for problems. [/quote]

DC Report Card has demographic information about teachers. 76% white.[/quote]
