[quote=Anonymous][quote]This is a fair point, at least with respect to Bannaker and HUMS (which, I confess, I hadn't heard of until this thread).  Not sure it applies to KIPP, thouch - from what I understand, [b]KIPP's program is specifically targeted at economically disadvantaged kids[/b], with a longer school day, etc.  In DC, the population of white school-aged kids who qualify as economically disadvantaged is very small, I think (although I don't know the precise numbers).  I know that a program like that wouldn't be appealing for our family, regardless of the racial makeup of the students.

We're a long way from middle school, but if my kids show an aptitude for/interest in math and science (which, if genetics have any say in it, is unlikely), we'd certainly consider HUMS.  From the 10 minutes I spend looking at it, it seems like an excellent program, and it's convenient to our house.  [/quote]

You are correct. The few middle class families KIPP has are leaving in droves (self included); not because of the academic program, which is wonderful, but because of the administration and their attitudes towards middle class families.[/quote]
