[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I swear, white people complain about everything! This is embarrassing!  Homeschool your kids if you’re afraid to have them around a diverse group of kids.[/quote]

People are actually talking about lack of diversity. A school that is 84% black, 8% white, 6% Latino, and 2% AAPI? Not diverse. This is like saying that a black family who chooses not to send their children to the 90% white charter school are "afraid of diversity." They are afraid that their child will not fit in or feel welcome. Come on.[/quote]

You are right that one family wont make a difference, but when you look at a place like DCUM that has threads upon threads shaming people for going to any DCPS middle school besides Deal, any HS besides Banneker/Walls/Wilson, and conisder at least 50% of ES IB options as unusable because of "Test Scores" (which you are either unaware or are blissfully aware just equal demographics), you get this lack of diversity via group think.[/quote]

This is a great theoretical discussion, but the problem is when you actually have a 10 year old looking across the board "test scores" actually matter. And the stakes for academic achievement get higher. Rubber meets the road in middle and high school and its about more than just race.[/quote]
