[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the question to be asked is what people consider to be "good" schools vs "bad" schools. Is it the kids? The teachers and staff? Administration? Performance on standardized tests? SES of the student population? It's a subjective opinion as to what makes a school good or bad. Are we all talking about the same things when we say "good" schools or "bad" schools? I would be very interested in hearing peoples' opinions on this. [/quote]

It's the kids. People aren't comfortable saying that out loud. If you took the population of Whitman and traded it with the population of Wheaton, suddenly Wheaton would be the "better" school. When people say it's not about race or SES, that they just want the "better" school, what they are not saying is that the "better" school is always the whiter/Asian school.[/quote]

Ok but why?  Is it really just racism or are the whiter/Asian schools doing something differently?  Is it the students behavior, the dedication to academic achievement, the commitment to college?  Why are the white/Asian schools better?[/quote]
