[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's racism.  Pure and simple.  The rationalization are just that.[/quote]

Were you always this simple or did you have to work to reach this state of stupidity?[/quote]

But it is racism.  People are trying to get away from crime and bad schools.  Crime and bad schools equal black people. [/quote]

not that simple. But yes, in DC there is a correlation between crimes committed and poorly perforning students who are black.   There is a reason that most upper income blacks bail on DC and the school long before the white folks do in DC.   We will probably move in two year too unless we get into one of our two prefered charters.  Some of its schools but after 15 years in the city I am over the crime.   Im over the out of control, foul mouthed teens (see threads on Chik F le in Tenley), Im tired of the low expectations and low performance of elected officials, Im tired of the revolving door of repeat offenders, Im tired of my entire block reeking of weed every fucking day, Im tired of hearing parents scream :shut the fuck up before I beat your ass" on the playground at their kids, Im tired of those kids repeating the same behavior in my kids class.    Im just fucking tired of living in a place where my kids will never grow up with neighorhood kids through high school, every morning 9 kids on the block scatter to 5 different schools.  The upside is we will make a killing on real estate.  [/quote]

I know plenty of parents in majority-white schools who move or go private. Don't think its always racism.[/quote]
