[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the writer of this study is involved in the "integrated schools" movement.

I think some of the conversations there have led parents to believe that the main hold-up to integrated schools is white parents who chose segregation over and over again for individual reasons. As a trend, this makes integrated schools impossible. It calls into question the ethics of "i have to do the best thing for me kid."[/quote]

how in the world do they believe they are going to achieve integrated schools if they steadfastly deny that parents have any right to care about school quality? it’s too much. [/quote]

it's about the need to "optimize" -- does your kid, who already has many privileges, also need to be at the "best" school? will he be totally fine and maybe even thrive at a less-than-best school? if many people start thinking that way, will we slowly start to see more integrated schools, instead of the de facto segregation that obviously exists?

PPs have talked about their IB MS having 6th graders reading from board books. I don’t think this can be boiled down to “optimizing” for our kids. 
I also want to see where the authors of these studies send their kids to school. [/quote]
