[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the bottom line is always the SES. Every single study shows that schools with signigicant concectrations of poverty have much higher rates of violence and other bahvioral issues.  On top of the fact that kids from high poverty homes are almost always behind (this is not a race issues, my family is from WV and there is no way in hell I would send them to those all white redneck schools either).   This isnt about trolling OP (what a dumb assumption),[b] its about the facts of poverty and DCPS failing to realize they are also failing their brightest students.[/b][/quote]

A) why are you assuming that the "brightest students" are always the high SES ones?
B) in the context of this discussion, gentrification is impossible to ignore. the fact is a large proportion of DCUM posters CHOSE to move to their neighborhoods, where the "low SES" people live.  It becomes quite ugly and questionable when not only do they take over the neighborhood real estate, but also demand to take over the schools as well.  You don't get to both live in your nice urban neighborhood, enjoy the property appreciation, AND ignore the fact that people were there before you.  [/quote]

Well, God forbid people want to live in a neighborhood, live in a city, and want their children to receive appropriate ciity services. Clearly we white gentrified need to sit down and shut up. Thanks for the reminder.

FYI, ain't gonna happen.

Also, you can be angry white flight happened or you can be angry white people are moving back. Doesn't make sense to be angry about both. [/quote]
