[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charters that actually have some meaningful number of high SES or white families. I don't want my kid to be the ONLY white kid and at our IB, she would be one of about 4 white kids in the entire school.  I see the way the other kids act on the playground and the bullying she would endure is not worth the effort of trying to make the school work.     Hgiher SES kids tend to have significantly less behavioral problems. Another factor for charters that do have a higher number of AA or poor kids is the location.   Is it clear that the parents have to make an effort to get their kids to school every day> That usually means the parents also give a damn about education.[/quote]

This comment is ridiculous to me...racism is so real.[/quote]

Yeah, I read that earlier, thought of about a 5 page rebuttal, considered that it's so ridiculous that maybe it's a troll, and then just left it alone.

I went to school with some [i]very[/i] high SES (not just DC-lawyer/lobbyist high) kids.  Many of the were dumb as rocks and bullies too.  Even worse because they knew they could get away with a lot since their parents' donations paid for my scholarship and then some.[/quote]

private preschool last year.  All high ses with great parents. We had 16 kids, two of whom were problem kids (real problms - wouldn't listen, hit, bit pulled hair).  It just looks different to people when it is poor balck kids doing it.[/quote]

My DC picked up several curse words while attending our high-priced daycare, hasn't come home using any foul language while attending our Title 1 school.  [/quote]
