[quote=Anonymous]In case 14:15 hadn't noticed, there are very few, if any, Chinese residents in DC's chain store version of Chinatown, and even if there were---there's no space for a charter school given the exhorbitant rents. Gotta love the "let them eat cake" mentality. Besides, Capitol Hill poster---what makes you think that a neighborhood preference charter school is going to be comprised of the middle class demographic you so obviously desire. Rather, a charter school preference would recreate the same situation that middle class parents in EOP neighborhoods face already. That is, school boundaries that do not contain enough educated middle class families to positively affect a school's culture given the reality that if the majority of the students are from less-educated families, the school is going to teach to that common denominator.[/quote]
