[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The post from 14:00 today -- which is so ridiculously obnoxious that it shouldn't be repeated -- reflects a sentiment that I've seen on this site multiple times.

The line of exchanges that lead to a post like 14:00 usually goes something like this:

First: Someone says that those of us who send our kids to schools like SH/EH/JA don't prioritize the education of our kids, don't care enough about our kids, or something along those lines.

Next: Someone points out that upper-income kids in those schools perform comparably to upper-income kids in Ward 3 schools, pointing to PARCC data for white kids (which is a decent proxy for upper-income in DC).

Finally: Someone like the poster at 14:00 clings onto the word "white" and accuses us of caring [i]only[/i] about our own kids -- which completely contradicts the original accusation made against us.

So which one is it, people? Do those of us with kids at SH/EH/JA not care enough about our own kids? Or do we care [i]too much[/i] about them to the exclusion of others.

You definitely don’t care about your kids but part of the reason for that is the fact that you know white kids will largely be okay regardless where you go.  If we are talking about being obnoxious, let me tell you how irritating I find entitled white parents like yourself.  And almost none of you work to improve the school, and you know you can bail your kid out at any time.

Meanwhile academically oriented black, brown, Asian kids can’t take that risk. [/quote]
