[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that quibbling over the word choice feels a bit like dodging the issue, though. A clumsy word choice is a small issue -- the educational inequities across the city are a big issue, and I'd encourage folks to keep that perspective.

I for one am glad to be parenting a (white) child in a school system that values equity and recognizes that there's work to do on that front. [/quote]

If they valued equity they’d try to figure out what’s wrong with Ward 7 and 8 schools. [/quote]

LMAO. They KNOW what's wrong but won't put in the money to figure it out because funnily enough some White parents would complain. People seriously already complain about at risk funding but at risk funding won't even buy a school ONE extra aide. 
Of course it's not just money and resources there are also issues the mayor isn't solving, that are DC issues.[/quote]

I don’t think anyone begrudges at-risk funding.  It only comes up when people make digs about WOTP schools being “rich” and hogging resources, as though they get more funding.

I am happy for tax dollars to support at-risk students.  Makes more sense then spending all the money on fancy buildings. [/quote]
