[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But this is not a perfect world. People can move out of DCPS. People can apply for application school. People can lottery for charters. Waving your hands and saying “now you shall go to Wells/Coolidge and the schools will be integrated and all shall be good” is just a thing. You are ignoring the tons of commenters saying “nope, I won’t send my child to Coolidge.” (And you’re saying it to people who have options.)[/quote] This is true, of course; white people have been successfully resisting integration for decades! Which is why moving a big chunk of white kids all at once is important; you hope that with such a big group, even if you lose some families, a majority stick with the new path. If the worst happens, and the vast majority of white Lafayette families leave the system, then at least you reduce overcrowding at Deal and Wilson. I’m cautiously optimistic that the former would happen.[/quote]
