[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would disagree that CM is diverse, despite what others think.  White population is disproportionately high (suspiciously so, some would say) - unless your comparison is the Ward 3 schools.  Anyway, proves my point that DCUMers continue to look down on majority AA schools that are tier 1 - or climbing (like IT) yet consider schools without any real record to be highly regarded. Is this because of their demographics, one has to wonder? Personally, I want ALL of the schools to be successful because different kids need different things.  I do not believe that just because, for example, YY is considered a HRCS that it is the right place for all kids.  And, I think YY has a great program but it would not be the right place for my kids.[/quote]

What a bizarre and untrue.  GGW listed the top 10 diverse charter schools in the city. CM was 5th.  Use facts not rumors from DCUM. [/quote]

Diverse in this case did not mean "representative of the city" but the opposite, which is why CM is being dinged. [/quote]

Based on many of the conversations around here as well as the recent Erich Martel WaPo article, some people seem to want to think "diverse" is strictly about racial minority majority and in some cases go even further to suggest more specifically that it means majority-AA and AA run.  They think a school that is 25% white is "too white" and "not diverse" enough.[/quote]
