[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1. I hear you, but I think you're erring on the side of optimism about race on the Hill. Look at Brent. Their AA rate is close to falling into the single digits, not 20 years after it was almost entirely AA. There must be some white parents who are privately thrilled.[/quote] Sadly, I think this is probably true, and may be more than "some." I feel like the neighborhood parents (black and white) were more in it together 10-15 years ago. We obviously had racial tensions flare-up, or I observed white parents being oblivious to why black parents' would want different things from the schools (I'm neither white nor AA). More parents moved off the Hill if they felt differently in the past. Now families want a "flipped" school, and that makes me uncomfortable but may be better in the long run. [/quote]
