[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually I am sympathetic to that point. Although it is troubling. I am white but many of my AA friends who are parents say the same thing. They need to have an even higher standard for the academic challenge and social milieu at their kids school because their AA child is more likely to identify with and fall into the wrong crowd or to be teased for their interest or success in school. I have heard this over and over[/quote] I agree with this. It's also not great for minority kids (whether they are geniuses or not) to be in a school system where the underachievers are also primarily non-white. I imagine this also affects teacher expectations and interactions. These are all uncomfortable issues facing minority families in DC where race and class are so closely correlated. [/quote]
