[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes - to piggyback on this, the most significant indicator of academic success (at least, early academic success) is parental education/SES. In DC, the sad reality is that most highly educated/high SES parents are white. Therefore, the G+T program would be mostly high SEs (not all, obviously) and mostly white (again, not all). That's politically untenable for a vast majority of the politicians in DC. [/quote] DISAGREE - A controlled choice middle school east of the park would be majority African American for the foreseeable future.[/quote] More whites may enter the system, but there are many more strong African American middle school students currently in the system. Any controlled choice program with proficiency as the admission requirement would have AAs as a plurality if not majority. A controlled choice MS program would increase DCPS enrollment immediately, and it would benefit AAs immensely.[/quote]
