[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the Banneker poster is pointing out is that in DC's successful process of getting more white students to stay in DC public high schools, Banneker is next on the agenda. Parents who chose Wilson and Walls are not segregating, they were integrating Wilson and Walls, and have done so, and DC will work to sustain that presence. Now, instead of those schools shifting to majority white (SWW has tipped, Wilson is far off yet), the next schools to increase the share of the very small pool of white high school students are Banneker, DE, and McKinley, and to encourage that, Banneker, at least, has made some changes by adding more APs, focusing on their problem keeping boys in the school, allowing kids to play sports at other high schools, etc. It's the next step in the process. DC is moving in the right direction. [/quote]

Adding #8 (spin off from #4).

Don’t worry, soon enough, as soon as XYZ is done to appease me, us white folks will come and save your Banneker. This one might be neck in neck with #1 (I don’t want to mess up your sacred HBCU feeling school) on the ridiculous meter. Banneker doesn’t have to do XYX to attract you, just like Hardy didn’t have to get rid of uniforms to attract rich white folks. They don’t need saving. You need to prove that you’re not afraid of black 14 year olds. But keep clamoring to Creative Minds and Inspired Teaching because you want “play-based” learning. 🙄[/quote]

Do you want Banneker to have more white students?  [/quote]

I couldn’t care less but that fact that you don’t even consider it speaks more about you than me. [/quote]

I didn’t say I wouldn’t. I didn’t even say I have kids. But you do seem to have a lot to say about something you don’t care about. And if you don’t care, why should I?[/quote]
