[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Not every successful high-achieving person went to a prestigious college. And dismissing it as a class issue ignores that race often tracks class. No one wants low performing schools but until we as a society address social issues we will have them. [/quote] I just did an interview with Perry Stein of the Washington Post. One point I made is that you can't expect parents who are just trying to get the best education for their kids to engage in a social revolution and overcome 100 years of segregation (I am roughly dating that to when the black people were kicked out of Fort Reno). Given the obstacles involved, it is a little much to expect parents, let alone a bunch of posters on a web forum, to be responsible for the change. I don't know what it will take to bring about change, but I am pretty sure it is not a report that analyzes word frequency. [/quote]
