@17% of the IB population at Janney is non-white. And @95% of that 17% are biracial children who are black/white or asian/white. [/quote]

I call bull. I'm a stats nerd and I've never seen stats publicized by DCPS that break out IB/OOB by race. What's your source?[/quote]

Same question here.  How do you know the biracial make-up (black/white asian/white)?  Even when those stats are kept and not reported as other, it usually just states two or more races.  Are you speaking from your visual observation?[/quote]

When you are at a school for 10 years with multiple kids you really do get to know pretty much everyone. [b]I am basing this on visuals and I have hosted 4 parent socials in my own house and attended 12 to 15 parent socials over the years[/b]--and been active in the PTA. The number might be off by a percentage point or 2 but they are accurate. Not to a stat nerd, but for the basis of this discussion these numbers are valid. Feel free to disregard them. I have no dog in the Hardy fight--we are an AU Park family IB for Janney and Deal and use both.[/quote]

Wow!  Well, who can argue with that!  Sounds pretty scientific and conclusive to me!![/quote]

The only question I have is why the 17% wasn't expanded to include a decimal point of precision. Surely if you can estimate to within 1% based on observations at parent socials you can get within 0.1%.[/quote]

LOL!!  Thanks - I need a laugh!!  :-)[/quote]
