[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again - the schools issue is such a hard one.  Yes, it's hypocritical and damaging to the community to not send your kids to the neighborhood school.  Yes, I want the best for my kid and I'm not willing to sacrifice his education for the good of others.  I feel like most parents feel that way.  That said, I would much rather send my child to an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse school than a homogeneous private or suburban public school.  Isn't that why we chose to live in the city instead of the suburbs anyways?  It's not like any of us want to deal with the charter lottery process.  I don't have a good answer to the school issue, but know that the charter/DCPS debate is more about class and education than race - my workplace is 90% black/latino and NONE of the educated, middle class, mostly DC natives that I work with send their kids to their in-boundary DCPS.  Literally nobody that I've asked (and I ask everyone with school aged kids) does.[/quote]

Wow, you have really convinced yourself you are a "good white" what with your sign signalling it to the neighborhood and your justification for abandoning local public schools.

BTW, you "chose" to live in the city b/c you think it makes you cool, not b/c of diversity. Many of the suburbs that your look down on -- like Silver Spring, Takoma Park, parts of Rockville and -gasp-even Gaithersburg are WAY more diverse than your little urban hood, and virtually everyone goes to public school.

Here's a clue how many AAs feel about SURJ and all your signs and buttons:
