[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ It certainly is an interesting approach to consider.  Maybe the numbers are not exact, but the basic analysis strongly suggests a problem.[/quote]

no, the numbers show nothing of the sort. the census undercounts poor black kids by almost 9%. the annual census projections are esimates with a margin of error. dcps may under or over count its own numbers. the article id 100% horse shit and shame on anyone who thinks it is has an iota of credibility. [/quote]

The undercounts are no longer that high, and they are much worse for kids under 4. see table 4 with undercounts of kids by race since 1940: https://www.census.gov/srd/papers/pdf/ssm2014-03.pdf Agree on margin of error but not as much on undercount.

Also, DCPS/charters probably have an *over*count incentive since that is how they are paid, right, per pupil?[/quote]

No, the undercount is still very significant particularly for inner city black kids ie a huge chunk of DC. the daily caller screed is ludicrous. [/quote]
