[quote=Anonymous]It's really the intersection between gentrification & income inequality & charters that makes this conversation so nuanced in DC. In gentrifying neighborhoods like on the Hill where rich white parents shun the local schools, a true diversity effort by DCPS would mean making concerted and real efforts to provide curriculums and adminisrative structures that attract those parents. In totally gentrified/white neighborhoods WOTB, diversity.at-risk set-asides would help. In all-black Ward 7 and 8 schools, it seems harder to see how those schools can be made diverse. The choice would seem to be to either to focus on more city-wide charters that could attract diverse kids from all parts of the city; or forget diversity as a goal and improve the schools there on their own.
