[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is sad, but it is also a factor of real estate. People pay a premium to live in school districts that do not have those same demographics. People who can afford to opt in to certain districts and won't even consider others. I have to admit that I made that conscious decision when I bought my overpriced home. [/quote] Of course and don't get me wrong - we chose certain neighborhoods over others in our recent real estate purchase based in some part (although not entirely) on the school/neighborhood demographics. It just seems that our "real estate patterns" have taken us back to segregated schools. It isn't just here, but it is pretty pronounced here. We are kidding ourselves if we believe that these schools are "equal."[/quote]
