[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s get real racist ideas are present in every aspect
Of our society particularly in education. The reason as a educated. Black family we would hesitate to send out
child to lower SES mostly black school is because those teaching them historically have had lower expectations for our children based on race. But I am going to send my child to a school that is title one mostly black because they are working to address through ani-racist training and they have made significant gains in their scores as well. I work in a title one school is some of the reasons our students do not do well is because teachers have their own notions about their ability levels based on their SES levels. [/quote]

So look it's actually not about race.  It's about having a high performing cohort period

Why would anyone send their kid to a school where a majority of kids are below grade level that's common sense

Now there is a racial component, no one is comfortable if they are a minority aka if there aren't at least 10-20% of kids that look like your kid folks are going to feel out of place, especially if the other 80-90% are all one race.[/quote]
Wow that sounds like such a ridiculous white centric idea.  As person of color I can't think about not sending my child some where because 20% of the students are not of the same race. [/quote]

Well if you live in DC you don’t have to think about it but you might in McLean [/quote]
