[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]White affluent parents do a lot of things that exacerbate racial inequities--moving to segregated neighborhoods, choosing schools w/larger white populations, redshirting, pandemic pods, etc., all in the name of "doing what's best for my kids." I hope with more recent scholarship on these issues (opportunity hoarding, etc.), this leads to some reflection. [/quote] I "reflect" on these issues all of the time. It doesn't change what I'll be doing. Which is not sending my kid to a school where the majority of kids aren't at grade level. It's interesting that this is being framed as a something people can change with individual choices. It isn't. It needs action on the part of the system to change. Given that white parents getting involved in changing that system will be seen as racist....well....there's not a lot an individual white parent (or even a group of white parents) can do.[/quote]
