[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the idea that all the schools are doing a good job because the white kids have similarly high SAT scores. This is really a thread stopper. [/quote]

While that is cringe-worthy, I'm not sure that is what people are trying to say. Inevitably these threads end up with a bunch of well educated, reasonably high income parents yelling at each other. The ones from the western part of the country degrade the DCC and say things like if your kid goes to school with poor kids they will get a subpar education. I suspect these parents have very average kids who they are hoping will rub off on the high achieving kids at their W school because dammit they paid a lot for their house and hate their jobs and this better be freakin' worth it and the are feeling that is not happening so having rage black outs on DCUM help them feel better. These are the same people who eat their feelings. Sad all around.

So people try to point out, sorry to burst your bubble, but if your white kid raised by educated affluent parents were in a different school he or she would be doing about the same. Parenting and home influence determine success about a thousand-fold more than school.

What our schools should be striving to do is meet the needs of all kids, including ones who don't have strong support at home. [/quote]
But we are trying to see whether the test scores reflect the education level of the student body. Not if the white kids would do the same no matter where they go to school. [/quote]
