[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents who don't care about hundreds, possibly thousands, of high SES DCPS families bolting from the system for good after this miserable school year of 100% DL for most are the kind who cut off their noses to spite their faces.  They will need luck.[/quote]

Gross over-estimation of your value but you do you.[/quote]

No individual family is that important, but the problem is that it can turn into a snowball effect. UMC people see other UMC people leaving, and decide they need to bail, too, because they want to see a critical mass of high-performing kids in order to entrust their own to the system.[/quote]

There is nothing wrong with middle and low income minorities. Because that is really what you are describing, isn’t it? “Educational white flight.” [/quote]

No, PP is describing educational UMC flight, white, black, Asian, Latino.  Grow up.[/quote]

No sorry UNW parents who make this argument mean specifically white kids. Be honest because you aren’t.[/quote]

Wrong. How many times on this board do people talk about the UMC Black families living in Shepherd Park who send their kids private?  I know this doesn’t fit your narrative but there it is. [/quote]

Ha, we're one of these families, but we're a pretty minscule segment of the UMC population in DC.  I agree w/the other PP that usually UMC is indeed code for white, affluent families.[/quote]

Why are you fleeing public schools?[/quote]
