[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a white family with a kid at Ellington and couldn't be happier. What a ridiculous comment, 8:36 "to see how current black parents respond." WTF??!! Do black parents send their kids to predominantly white schools and see how current white parents respond? Many white families simply do not want their kids in a predominantly black school, regardless of the school's performance or test scores. It's a race issue. [/quote]

Not idiotic at all - considering how many white parents express concern about being a tiny minority in a predominately black system, it would be very interesting to see how black parents responded to more whites coming in to already successful DC schools.  In fact it seems remiss to do otherwise.

I agree -- it's a race issue.  And your family is obviously a rare exception.  I wonder, what do other white families ask you about your choice?  What kind of change in attitudes is there among white families considering majority black schools?  What concerns do they have?[/quote]
