[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of private school kids in silver spring too. Maybe they’re the ones at the libraries [/quote]

This is such an interesting microcosm of racist thought.

Racist Assertion 1: There are no Black or brown kids at the library because their families don't care enough.

People in the Neighborhood: Actually, there are lots of Black and brown kids at the libraries near me. Maybe the problem is your neighborhood.

Racist Assertion 2: Oh, but those are probably not PUBLIC school kids.

It's like....the goalposts keep moving to placate some ridiculous and untrue stereotypes about who is an is not an involved and interested parent. [/quote]

Wake up. It’s the educated black AA families in that area that go to private schools as URMS. They don’t want to run the risk that (a) any teachers lump their hard working kids with the poor performers and (b) poor performers latch on or bully their good performer. It’s a tough culture to play both sides when a teen.[/quote]
