[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole at risk set aside is a HORRIBLE plan! In D.C. the face of "at-risk" is, in peoples' minds, the young black child. With this plan, the young black child at a Janney or Lafayette or Hearst, will immediately be identified as one of the "at risk" set aside kids. Will this make black kid that is in bounds feel pressure to have his peers know that "I am not one of them"? Will this make the OOB at risk child feel somehow "less than"? Will people look on that child with disdain? This has huge unfortunate social repercussions especially when "at risk" is closely associated with race in the minds of people.[/quote] Yeah --- I thought of that too, but wonder what better alternatives there are - and how different it is from the situation, let's say, of some private schools that take scholarship students who are mainly of another race. How does that work out?[/quote]
