[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Exactly. And I do think there is definitely some nuance in what makes UMC white parents think a school is acceptable. When you dig into it, you see that Beers Elementary and Miner Elementary have very, very similar PARCC scores. And yet, Beers is a total unknown to DCUM and most white parents wouldn't even consider it as an option, frankly in large part because it is black and in Ward 7. Whereas Miner is commonly discussed here as an acceptable option for ECE. Or is the lack of acceptance of school like Beers because there is no discussion of it on DCUM compared to Miner, which might actually indicate that the Brookings research is onto something? [/quote] This is an example of where the obvious explanation is simply missed. Miner is in a neighborhood where we have a lot of posters whereas Beers is in a neighborhood from which we have very few users. People simply talk about their local schools. Not a surprise. [/quote]
