[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the insights.

PPs are correct. The language is so not-so-thinly veiled. I know there is a lot of fear-mongering here about the DCC, but there had to be "regular" kids succeeding and heading to college. DCUM makes it sound like it's magnet/IB or bust.

I'll definitely tune out the noise and continue supporting DC the best we can. We really love our ES and our community.

“Regular kids” meaning white and UMC according to this thread. Not even veiled racism anymore.[/quote]

I'm the PP who first mentioned I know White UMC kids in non magnet programs. Obviously, "poor cohorts" is veiled racism and it being "veiled" makes it seem ok. So, I'd rather just be explicit about what we are talking about. Because that is what a lot of "regular" White parents who don't think of themselves as racist are quietly wondering - will my kid be the only White kid?

Describing UMC White kids as "regular" kids is obviously preposterous and offensive but it speaks to how many "regular" White people think and why there isn't more outrage about poor performing schools. It's ok if "those" kids do poorly. They are not "regular" kids.[/quote]
