[quote=Anonymous][quote]18:50, I posted my perspective based on what I personally witnessed as a parent at Maury.

Rather than assume I am racist, please accept that I have stated an opinon based on first-hand experience as a Maury parent.

As for your optimism, I hope you are right. I hope that all those (white) preschool parents keep their kids in the Maury-Eliiot Hine-Eastern schools. Based on past experience, I don't share the same optimism.

Perhaps you could please post again in 2-3 years and let me know just how many of those parents have kept their (white) kids at Maury into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade. [/quote]

PP, you must know something i don't know. my family loves our capitol hill home and we aren't moving anywhere else (you can have the 'burbs. they aren't for us). we've put a ton into our home in sweat equity and dollars, and we have no intention of selling. and i just don't see us (or our immediate neighbors) shelling out the $20K+ annually it takes to send our kids to private school. so many of us are committed to Maury. the past is the past. this new wave of parents see more hope and opportunity than existed in the past. Much has changed in faculty (new principal last year), facilities (constantly upgrading), etc....actually, our hope is that the african american kids stay, too. right now, my DS's class is predominately white and male.
