[quote=Anonymous]If I can throw in my fifty cents.  I don't think this is all about Black and White, although there are quite a few White folks in this town who thinks it is all about them and them only.  The deplorable test scores for generations are due solely on Black cronyism.  The politicians stole and or diverted money from the schools.  Many schools did not have text books, biology equipment, chemistry labs, etc.  The most glaring were the absent of text books for many kids.  Some, not all, teachers became ROADs and failed to inspire or teach.  First heroin and then Crack cocaine hit the city hard between 76 and 96 and anybody who had an opportunity to flee, fled.

The middle and upper class Black establishment left the city or sent their children to parochial/private.  There wasn't any  one left to ffight for the poor and low-income against the ineptness of DCPS.  Along with many others, middle and uper income Blacks have returned to the city (parents home, etc) and are sending their kids to charters and DCPS.

I know some of you think it is only your children who are raising the scores, I would say not.  It is the combination of educated Blacks, whites and Latinos that are causing the rise.  But, you white folks can think it is all you and only you.
