[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. I am one of the current Hardy parents who has posted here and I have spoken to many of my Ward 3 colleagues about why they will or will not send their students to Hardy. Race - either directly stated or implied - is a huge issue.[/quote] odd -- whites are in the minority at Wilson and it doesn't seem to be an issue there.[/quote] It's really not all that complicated - there's a threshold - hard to define, but it exists - where if the population of white students falls below X, the school faces additional barriers to recruiting white students. Wilson and Deal are above this threshold; the best example of a school below this threshold is Banneker, which has the best scores in the city yet can't attract a single white student most years. And Hardy is also below this threshold. Hope that helps you understand this phenomenon. I assure you, it exists. [/quote]
