[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fair point but like others have said it's almost impossible to tell what the real quality of a school is

[b]Therefore test scores, graduation rates, college acceptance and type of college kids are accepted to and discipline issues is the only thing to go on  [/b]

Higher SES is directly correlated with higher rates of these factors and lower rates of serious discipline issues (suspensions expulsions dropping out etc)

Higher SES is directly correlated to certain races over others

Now some think the purpose of school isn't to go to the best college you can to those I say why are you mortgaging your kids future on some liberal crusade of diversity

No, they're not.

You keep begging the question. By which I mean, this is your reasoning:

You: The good schools are the schools with lots of kids from affluent, educated families.
Us: How do you know?
You: Because diversity is PC bunk.
Us: How do you know?
You: Because the schools with lots of kids from affluent, educated families are the good schools.

I would like to take a time out from this fraught discussion to congratulate you on the proper use of "begging the question."  I realize most grammar posts are about grammar failures, but I think those of us who love the English language can all stand up and applaud seeing that rare correct application of the phrase.[/quote]
