[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought this report was striking but super short on any practical solutions to a problem that has vexed our public school system for decades.[/quote] I thought the report was pretty clear that integration was a practical solution to the problem. That is, in fact, the entire point of the podcast. Someplace like DC, which is hyper-segregated but geographically compact, would be a perfect opportunity for reintegration of public schools. [/quote] Also--there are so few white students in geographically compact Washington who use public schools that integration couldn't actually "be successful" here. You would need to combine DC schools with neighboring Virginia and Maryland districts and integrate from there. How would Bethesda like that?[/quote]
