[quote=Anonymous]In my state if you end up in a failing school you have a right to transfer to any other public school or some private schools (the state I think limits how much they'll pay). I know there are kids in my DC's private school who take advantage of that program. It works. You can use it. In addition to that, our real estate is cheap, cheap. You can rent an apartment in the best school zone for $600/month. So can you explain the the problem still remains the same? In the city there are still failing black schools. If integration was successful why when they stopped making efforts to bus kids everything naturally went back to what it was, failing black schools, thriving white schools? [/quote]
