[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh christ - I am an upper middle class white lady who went to school in upper middle class white suburbia. There was PLENTY of wasted time in every classroom of my childhood taken up with pain in the ass kids - WHITE wealthy kids. I constantly had teachers who had to deal with these kids to the detriment of all the other kids. This happens everywhere, not just 90% FARMS schools. I know my story is just an anecdote but we are way over obsessing about how the brown kids harm our little special white snowflakes aren't we! Way to blame the browns though. If only we could get them all out of 1) neighborhood, 2) city, 3) country. [/quote] Hahahahaha! That's not even REMOTELY credible to anyone who actually has experience with these schools. The disruption problem is FAR worse with the 99% FARMS schools as compared to wealthier suburban schools (unless you want to count the fact that a chunk of those 99% kids eventually "won't disrupt class" because they are such hard cases that they drop out altogether... Ever been to Ballou, lady? I sure doubt it.) Either you are completely full of crap or you are completely, obliviously ignorant. And as for "brown kids" - you are the ONLY ONE here constantly bringing up race. Nobody else here does that. Nobody here is complaining about the fact that there are "brown faces" in schools. Nor are they "talking in code" when they talk about FARMS. Hell, lady - even the most exclusive schools in the area like Sidwell and Maret are only 60% white. So get a friggin' grip already. Give it a rest, "snowflake" lady. Nobody here is buying what you are selling and frankly we are sick and tired of your delusions. [/quote]
