[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its understandable that one would prefer schools where their children can see other people like them and not feel alienated but if Asians won't enroll their kids in local schools, how are these schools ever going to have any diversity? If DCPS can attract them to local schools, it really can add fresh air for everyone. New and different perspectives can invigorate a learning community. This is America, we don't need segregation, we need inclusion.[/quote]

I’m Asian and was interested in DCPS but [b] DCPS has made it abundantly clear that they tolerate white kids, care about AA kids and don’t give a damn about Asians. [/b]I don’t really think they care about Latinos either. [/quote]

Curious why you feel this way. [/quote]

It's demographics and power.  DCPS is majority black so those will always be catered too first.  Hispanics fail to max there political clout anywhere, same with asians and in DC there are barely any asians in DCPS.  White people have more of both but there numbers quickly decrease after elementary schools so most of DCPS just chooses to ignore them.      [/quote]

That's what stops DCPS from doing well, if they don't understand it, majority parents should insist on making their schools diverse for their own children's sake. [/quote]
