[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I cannot stop reading OP's post and thinking they are listing fewer black/Hispanic children is a great reason to move. [/quote]
Because too many people associate "better" schools with whiter schools in their thinking, and contribute to segregation.

Oh yes, of course.

Usually the racism I read on DCUM is way more dog-whistley, not this blatant "the fewer brown children, the better" racism from OP.[/quote]

Op here. Wow. Quite the opposite. I miss my super nice African-American, Hispanic and Asian neighbors.[/quote]

"I cant be racist! I have black friends and complimented them!"[/quote]

Don’t try to make this something racist when it is not. It has nothing to do with race. My kids had friends of all different backgrounds at their old school. We didn’t move to this school for no minorities. School just happens to have almost no FARMs and few ESOL kids.[/quote]
[quote=Anonymous]We moved from a [b]GS5 to GS10.[/b] Old neighborhood was 30% FARMS/ESOL. New school is [b]virtually no FARMS and 5%ESOL. 1% Black. 2% Hispanic. [/B] We live in a beautiful lonely house. The kids and I had so many friends previously. Now there is no one on our block. Some old people wave and say hello occasionally. I want to move back to my old neighborhood.[/quote]

Your words, bolding mine.
