[quote=Anonymous]I also think we'd be better served if we stopped talking about race as the "reason" for anything at all. Because it is not.

There are intersections of class and ses and culture that contribute to educational outcome. But race is very imprecise as a benchmark. For one, the reason this country has a booming population of Hispanics has more to do with identifying as Hispanic. You still won't convince me that someone with a Spanish-speaking grandparent in Rockville has anything in common, besides a language, with a family who came from Guatemala yesterday. Nor does an Eritrean family have anything innate in common with an African American family who's lived here for 300 years.

Except for what we all have in common, which is the desire for our children to be educated safely and within our community.

What we should also have in common IS that community, and the realization that it takes all kinds of people doing all kinds of jobs to make one. Other cities can mange this. [/quote]
