[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] There's also an unfortunate reluctance to scrutinize SH's academic deficiencies within the white parent group, along with the lack of socioeconomic and racial diversity among students. Where are the Asian students, where is the Latino cohort, where are the UMC AA students? The insularity of the arch liberal UMC group at SH is a drag. Advocating for more honors classes isn't on their agenda. [/quote] This is a huge issue -- the fact that outside of a few places in Mount Pleasant "diversity" in DCPS just means combining black intergenerational poverty and upper middle class white kids. That isn't at all what real diversity means in 21st century America. Modern diversity involves all kinds of upwardly mobile and working class first generation immigrants, black UMC, etc. Those groups all head out to the suburbs for exactly the same reasons UMC white parents are tarred as "racists" for doing so.[/quote]
