First, I aware of studies that say it is not harmful to the high SES student, but I have never heard of a study that says it is beneficial for a high SES student to commute to a low SES high school.  (And the former are questionable.)

So I would love to see one of the studies to which you referred.

Nonetheless, it wouldn’t change my view.  It seems if it is beneficial to everyone to commingle Wilson, Roosevelt, and Coolidge students, then it would be a social injustice not to intermingle Roosevelt, Coolidge, Ballou, and Anacostia instead.[/quote]

Translation:  Show me data that refutes my preconceived notions.  Wait, you actually have data? Well, f that.  I'm gonna ignore the data because [word salad].[/quote].

+1. What would be the bet benefit of commingling 4 HIGH poverty schools?[/quote]

It would mean slightly higher scores for Roosevelt and Coolidge, if for arguments sake let’s say all the rich white kids attended. Slightly lower scores for Wilson. The lower income kids would improve slightly and the high income kids would improve slightly while also learning that not everyone is rich and white. The rich kids would develop better social skills. Overall attendance would improve. There would be some kids graduating to matriculate at Ivies. And life goes on. A bunch of hand wringing over fear of other. That’s what I predict would happen.[/quote]

Hilarious that you think kids at Wilson and Wilson feeders don't know that everyone is not rich and white. [/quote]
