Oh, there's plenty of carping about how people in those communities are not doing their share because their FARMS or minority numbers are too low...why can't they be subject to busing?  Why should they be entitled to go to high-performing schools just because they were able to buy houses in the zones?

Anyway, you say that "the way to fix this problem is to lower the school's proportion of students who are poor."  How, specifically, do you propose to do that?[/quote]

No, they are not entitled to high-performing schools, and high-performing is a relative term. It seems many would rather have every school being mediocre instead of some being better than others. The problem is that human beings are selfish. Black doctors or lawyers grow out of DC downtown won't raise their kids there for the sake of serving the community as a good influence. When people have resources, they choose what is best for themselves and their kids instead of what would be the best for the whole society. Social liberals might think otherwise, but that's usually when they don't have the resources. [/quote]
