3/4 of black, Hispanic/Latino, and ESOL students are in high-poverty elementary schools
2/3 of white, Asian, and multiracial/ethnic students are in low-poverty elementary schools[/quote]

I wanna live in central London, maybe Mayfair and send my kids to school there.
What can you do for me? I make $40k a year. London is segregated, only rich whites live there. They must bus us in, tell the board. Mayfair area is racist. They just give me cheap housing and schools with smart students. They are racist and segregating us all.

Not sure what point you're trying to make here? That London schools are also segregated?[/quote]

I think the point is that economics drives housing costs based on supply and demand.  EVERYONE has to choose a place to live based on those market forces.  Do you think most people in Clarksburg like spending hours commuting?  No, they chose an area that had the nicest home and amenities that they could afford, given the trade-offs of commute.  NO one has the right to live in any given neighborhood or community, especially when they are asking taxpayers to pay for it.  [/quote]
