[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"strong level of resistance with some DC residents (especially those from the lower class black communities) against integration and diversity."

PP, your composition was okay until you dropped this line. Perhaps you are the one against integration and diversity. Why live in DC if you have a problem with its population? Move to VA or better yet WV.[/quote]

i think the PP is right, but needed to be more clear -- DC's diverse population is not a problem, but the lack of diversity (i.e. middle class of any color) in DCPS IS a problem. [/quote]

Until you've experienced it, you may naively think this is not true. However, there is definitely a segment of the population who believe that whites are the enemy, that they are not to be trusted and they have passed this down to their kids. It seems crazy in the 21st century, but when you live in a segregated community of any kind this is the kind of mindset that happens. I'm still hopeful that this can be changed. However, in answer to the OP's question - and as someone who actually works in a school with a high poverty rate - there is no way that I would send my child to a high poverty school, just no way.
