[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bad words and bad behavior is not exclusive to lower income AA kids as you all continue to allude to. The notion itself is racist and wrong. We are at a HRCS and the constant trouble makers (3rd grade) are 3 high SES white boys and 1 black boy (high SES as well). There is also one white girl (higher SES) who is a bully. One of the white boys says the F word regularly and is physically uncontrollable.[/quote]

Spare us the holier than though rant.  Yea, there are difficult, bullying, potty-mouthed kids of every race and creed in DC public schools; everybody knows this. Problem is, housing project AA kids live in such difficult circumstances in this city that behavioral issues are more common in this population than in others, and threatening environments don't make for great learning environments. DC Public Charter's usual answer to the problem, marching (and pushing) low SES kids around like they attend junior military academies, is just one of a confluence of forces promoting greater segregation by class. High SES families are seldom OK with that approach.
