[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for not being PC!  Who in their right mind wants their child to attend a school where 80% of the population is FARMS and out of boundary?   However, no one wants to admit that a predominately black school with impoverished students are the reasons they ignore Hine or the many other deplorable  schools in Washington DC.    People will make up all types of PC excuses instead of being honest.    I'm black and there is no way in Hell I will send my children to Hine.   There are reasons why parents flock to Deal, parochial, or private schools in DC.   Even parents from non-affluent communities will prefer Deal over Hine.  Affluent parents on The Hill have other options and Hine surely isn't one of them.

If we're done being politically correct, then let's not forget that these places that you flock to, the whites you encounter there in turn flock away from as the reality around them gets more diverse. Sad truth, I know. The irony: those whites who don't blink in the face of a little diversity benefit from it all. Meanwhile, you're missing out on good options for all the wrong reasons.[/quote]

It's not a sad truth to me.  It is a reality.  It's a reality that people want different things for their children.  I'm cool with that.     What are the benefits of sending your child to a dysfunctional school?  Please tell me.   Hine is like 99% Black.  That doesn't sound like diversity to me.   There are better options for diversity in DC.  I don't think parents should ignore safety, security, academics, the overall school environment, etc. all for the sake of diversity either.   Diversity becomes mute if your child is attending a school that is horrific.

Well, good luck on sending your child to Hine.  I truly wish you the best!    [/quote]
