[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in Moco and without naming the specific area have seen white flight I am relatively new to the area but was looking at the demographic for our local school.  I dont remember the exact numbers but in the 90's there were approx 60% white kids and the rest were other races, It has gradually switched over and is now only about 8% white. 
So either the white people are moving or they are all sending their kids private which I find hard to believe. Makes me sad.[/quote]

I think we may live in the same area! It is sad. There seem to be plenty of white people in my neighborhood but many of them are elderly and if they are young enough to have kids, send their kids to private schools. Mine will be going to public though![/quote]

Why is it sad?  Seriously.  White people are not endangered.  It cracks me up to hear white people lamenting this given their historic lack of empathy for, say, Native Americans who they almost completely wiped out.  There are plenty of y'all.  Calm down.[/quote]
I am the original PP, It is sad that white people dont want to send their kids to school because there are more black kids. That to me is sad.

Depends on the black kids and their parents attitude toward education.   I tutor at an Alexandria school that is predominantly black.  The black kids who do well are from Ethiopia and Eritrea and they have two patent households who care about kids showing up on time and doing school work. 
The kids I tutor have a mother at best but mostly grannies, aunties, or a young adult sibling.   They do not have time or energy to do more than house and feed the child. The teachers are disinterested, too.   I help 4th graders with work my children did in kindergarten.
