[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reality, PP. If the FARMs rate is greater than around 25%, it emerges as a detriment for learning for all the kids. A large corpus of academic literature bears this out. Yea, reality bites.  [/quote]

Then move to MoCo.  Don't contaminate a school that's supposed to be citywide (and thus should reflect city demographics) with your racism.  [/quote]

More than 2/3 of SWS students are white, the case for almost 20 years now.  Right, the student population should reflect city demographics (40% white).  Sounds like you've got your cut out for you in battling racists to make that happen. Get to it why don't you.  [/quote]

Women like you aren't worth arguing with but for anyone reading who doesn't realize most of the school was admitted before it was a city wide school. Even now that it is city wide the expectation is that it will trend towards the demographics of the city population that is willing to commute to the location (which is different from what's there today but also different from the overall city demographics). It's also DCUM sport for someone like her to tag most of these threads with the racist label. [/quote]

Hey - just who was the first person to raise race on this thread?  It was the person who was crowing over the lower percentage of "FARMS" at SWS as compared to a school a few blocks away.  [/quote]

That first comment wasn't me. Sure it looks like a swipe at Watkins and I can see how, reading quickly, you might make the leap to thinking it was "SWS crowning" in the context of the conversation. But really all it says is (in a snarky way) is that over 25% FARMS is something to watch for and someone decided to take a swipe at Watkins for that. Your jumping at shadows interpreted it as SWS racism. [/quote]
