[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When will rich white parents realize that an all-white/high-ses public school system in their gentrified/gentrifying city is not their manifest destiny?[/quote] I'm a white parent and I'm totally with you. What you have to work around is the idea that the white parents/higher income parents have shown that they will choose other schools if the presented choices do not seem good for them. So if you want them, it turns out you have to create incentives for them along with any restrictions on mobility within DCPS. I'm not a fan however, once you create the school that these parents want, that they then go and start exercising a level of exclusive ownership inappropriate for a larger system of schools with a clearly limited number of quality seats.[/quote]
