[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn’t just a DC thing. Head over to the MD and VA forums. There is definitely a lot of discussion on what schools to avoid, etc.  Not criticizing just saying it happens.[/quote]
But no one says to avoid because there are too many (insert race) there. Of course people avoid failing schools. [/quote]

Ha! 
I never come to the DC page since I have not lived there. Posting only since I read the Post piece and the odd inclusion of the DCUM response to the study in that article. 
But yes the MD and VA pages talk frequently about FARMS and ESOL rates. As the study and article refused to acknowledge - what parents are segregating away from is not race but the high needs created by poverty and low English skills that dilute time teachers have left for other kids in the class. While I am sure some posters are racist the vast majority care about those item and not what color the non-FARMs and non-ESOL kids are that they are struggling to get into class with. [/quote]
