[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And then there are several stable charters in the city that have consistently delivered strong results for 10+ years but are pooh-pooh'd by liberal gentrifiers because those schools lack a trendy educational gimmick and have "less desirable" demographics. It seems that the education of the actual child is secondary to parents' networking and socializing via listservs, playdates, events. The poor test results of black children at Lee is very unfortunate and I hope all Lee parents are called to action to make improvements and/or fully explore other school options in the area that may be better suited to the individual child's needs/learning style.[/quote]

Sadly I am not seeing much better results from many other charters. Kipp I know does well. But cmi, itds, any of the Lee, lamb, breakthrough.. None doing great educating brown and black kids.. Even though a lot of the minority kids at those school are higher income and have well educated parent. Which is supposed to be a great determination of out come than race alone. And yet they are still showing lower scores with minority kids that have the advantages.[/quote]
