[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the point of discussing Banneker to shame UMC white parents who won't send their kids their, or to establish that since DC already has a selective HS, the constant angst about "why doesn't DC have a selective HS to attract UMC families?" is kind of silly?

I can understand that some UMC might not be drawn to Banneker, for a number of reasons.  But I also think the harping that DCPS is not catering to UMC (white?) families because there is no selective school seems odd.

It's a spin-off of the people who say that they could never attend Jefferson MS because of the "low scores" and the needs of their "advanced learners." When you point out an all-black school that actually has a rigorous curriculum and is doing very well by its learners, then you hear ANOTHER set of excuses for why "high SES" parents[b] need something entirely new created just for them.

That my dear, is the bottom line[/quote]

Yes, I know it is! [/quote]
