[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only thing that can be done is to support DC's renaissance as a middle-class city.  The schools will follow.  The (much fewer) remaining poor families will get a good education in schools that have 10% poverty as opposed to 80%.  The rest will get an education in MD or VA. [/quote]

IOW - the way to improve DC schools is to get rid of the poor black children in them.

How true.  the schools will improve, but the poor black kids won't - but who cares if the real issue is "DC's renaissance"

THe poor black kids will disappear into MD or VA and won't be an embarrassment to DC anymore.

So much for narrowing the achievement gap and for providing a good education for all children, regardless of zip code.  [/quote]

80-100% low SES schools will not succeed.  Segregation, whether racial or economic is wrong.  Having those low SES kids in diverse schools rather than segregated into a few very poor schools is better for everyone.[/quote]

Are you proposing moving out many of the poor kids to help them learn in integrated classrooms in VA and MD or to just move them out so white folks can move in -- sort of like the reverse of the 50s in DC?[/quote]
