[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It should never be about race. But it should be acknowledged that kids from low-SES backrounds, of any race, tend to experience hardships at home that they can't help but bring to school. And there are jealousies of seeing those high SES kids with fancy things, nuclear families, nice cars, and fancy homes, and talking about elaborate Spring Break vacations while poor SES was home ducking blows. When you mix econ status people, that's good but you may want to have aides and such to help to always maintain discipline. Just my thoughts. And the race of the principal doesn't matter; all that matters is whether he/she wants to grow the neighborhood and views that as part of the job, versus headcounts and CAS scores only. Hopefully the new principal is neighborhood-centric, regardless of whether she's purple, green or orange.[/quote]

Really? I know low SES families who are loving, close-knit and have very high moral values. I also know some high SES families who are negative, entitled and  believe it's ok to do whatever you need to do to get ahead. I want my kids with other kids who a t like the first group regardless of how much money their parents have.

I don't find your stereotypes to be true. At. All.[/quote]

+1 the racist vitriol and cartoonish stereotypes on this board are nauseating.

Huh? ^ Not sure who the racist/elitist is here.  All types of families have problems, sure.  But some kids grow up in very hard conditions. That's an unfortunate fact of life.  In general terms, kids growing with extra challenges can need additional resources to nurture them.  What's wrong with that?[/quote]

PP here you're off topic and out of line.  I don't want a "white principal", nor do I think poor kids spend vacations at home getting beaten as PP stated.  Do you just like to stir s@!%?[/quote]
