[quote=Anonymous]Both episodes rang true to me. Sure, there were some communications issues that the Principal should have helped with. But there was so much other stuff that this shed light on. The way the children responded to questions- thinking that the mere presence of white people changed the status of the school. The way the existing parents expressed that the school was good prior to the new kids arriving. The assumption that the changes in the school would be wanted by all the families. This plays out so many times in the DC elementary school scene. And the second episode, where parents truly and honestly wanted to help, wanted to be a part of the solution, believed in the mission- in theory- but when the rubber met the road... opted out. Again... this plays out so much in DC. I am not sure what the answer is.. and I dont think that white parents are the whole problem.. but the observations are true and happening as we speak in our city.[/quote]
