[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey everybody, I'm the OP and I'm back.

The point of this thread was that GreatSchools is promoting segregation. [b]I have to admit that I assumed it would not be controversial to be against segregation.
[/b]
I cannot believe this thread has devolved into pro- and anti-segregation arguments. Who the hell is pro-segregation? I feel like we've just lost 60 years. My dad went to segregated (white) schools in the 1950s and people made the exact same arguments.[/quote]

Now you know better.  :(

I hope that the pre-segregation posters on DCUM are (1) people I don't know in real life (2) a small and ineffective minority in Montgomery County. But there's no way to know for sure.[/quote]

like the UMC black parents who send their kids to private instead of majority black schools in MOCO and PG

look start thinking for yourself instead of the liberal victimhood racism where there isn't any  [/quote]

Is your argument that UMC Black folks use private schools at a higher rate than UMC white folks? Because otherwise I'm not sure of your point. [/quote]

[b]my point is no UMC families want their kids going to lower performing schools.  There is no racial animosity it is strictly performance based. [/b]    [/quote]

Lol!  You clearly don't live in one of the gentrifying areas of DC.  Tons of highly educated families in schools that are overall lower-performing.[/quote]

lol all those people are gone by late elementary school.  The play the charter lottery if they get a bad number they go private or move to the suburbs.

I don't understand the logical fallacy with all of you its really not that hard.[/quote]

You're wrong--I know these families.  In my neighborhood, some have moved to private (same as WOTP) but most have stayed through elementary and gone on to Deal (EOTP Deal/Wilson feeder).  I don't know a single family who's moved to the suburbs.

Also, do you even live anywhere close to DC?  How can you try to claim such authority when you clearly know little about the topic you profess is "not really that hard?"  And what "logical fallacy" are you referring to?  Your posts are pretty much word salad, so it's tough to know exactly what you're trying to convey.[/quote]

Also, in the suburbs, there are plenty of highly educated families in schools that are overall lower-performing. And they (I mean we) are happy there/here.[/quote]

yall are so obtuse

1.  The Wilson pyramid is the only desirable pyramid in DC so yes people stay in DC for that pyramid

2.  Highly educated families in schools that are overall lower-performing is rare.  Why would you do that to your children.  Can't afford a better neighborhood???? lolz[/quote]
