[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d read about 1960s-1970s white flight in my history classes, and naively assumed we had moved beyond that sort of thing. To those of you who say you are not white, I would be careful about allying yourselves with the whites planning to escape the county. You may be what they are running from. [/quote]

+100. Tons of naive people on this forum. I'm glad the younger generation are more evolved. Signed, Asian parent staying put. My kids don't need an entire school of "smart" kids to help them do well.[/quote]

Oh please, Asian communities are among the most cliquish and tight communities. Just look at Potomac/Rockville and Boyds and Clarksburg. Your kids may not need any help at all when it comes to school performance but you probably “prefer” to be surrounded by a lot of smart kids. [/quote]

Ha, I'm the Asian PP and actually live in Clarksburg. The thing is I don't care about my kid being surrounded by tons of smart kids.  As long as the school has programs that will challenge my kids, then I'm cool with that. I figure if the program exists then there must be a cohort of kids who need it. Who cares of it's 60% or 40%.
