[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that quibbling over the word choice feels a bit like dodging the issue, though. A clumsy word choice is a small issue -- the educational inequities across the city are a big issue, and I'd encourage folks to keep that perspective. I for one am glad to be parenting a (white) child in a school system that values equity and recognizes that there's work to do on that front. [/quote] This! No need to attack the language. Let’s fix the problem. The high performing schools are largely in white, high income neighborhoods, which also have large PTA funds. This is just fact.[/quote] And they have involved parents who are highly educated, read to their kids and are frequently two-parent families. Schools simply cannot overcome that opportunity gap. Yes sometimes through charter schools, but just applying to a charger school is an indication of parental involvement.[/quote]
