[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Search on DCPS school profiles to see magnet school profiles. Every white parent isn’t Going to be OK with 2% white at Banneker and McKinkey Tech. Let’s not pretend that these programs are acceptable alternatives to Eastern for more than a tiny % of high SES parents.[/quote]

Barf. Is your kid afraid of Latinos and Black people? I bet they aren't, even if you are.

Plus, if you have a white kid and he and some of his friends apply, the school wouldn't even be 2% white anymore...unless your kid is too dumb to get in.

Look, if you are worried because you need a school with some specific percentage of white people but you also need to live in a city I'm sure you can work something out, but it's more of a you issue than a school issue, and not one I want DC government to spend any time solving. [/quote]

Grow up. AAs with money are even less likely to send their children to Eastern, Banneker or McKinley Tech than whites. High SES minorities families test into Walls, buy IB for Wilson, go private or move. Why? Because you need a good cohort of high SES families to have a high-functioning urban HS in this country in 2021.  [/quote]
