So DCs policy is to flood poor kids to the struggling to succeed middle class schools. It shouldn’t just be about what is best for those poor kids that disputes all that fiddling will still mostly fail. You act like is the middle class would just lend a hand the poor kids will jump to success. Maybe a percentage point or two but what cost for still amount to mostly failure.

Hmmm.... so attending safe and effective schools is your kid's right, but for those brown people it's a handout ("handing them sandwiches")? I think there's a word for that way of thinking.

endless victimhood? when who just stated that poor people are brown? also what is the point of money is every human deserves the same thing?  I get it life isn't fair I just fail to see how you plan on ending that, sounds like you really just want to redefine it so you are on the better side. [/quote]

I'm not the person you've been arguing with.

Every human being deserves to have access to good quality education. You don't deserve better quality because you have more money. You can simply afford to buy better quality. Your money does not make you more deserving. It just gives you options that people with less money do not have.

Life is unfair in a variety of ways. Start with residential segregation, which in a city like DC where schools are assigned by address is directly responsible for segregation in schools. One solution to school segregation has been forced integration. You can argue that property values exist independently of race, but that's historically not been true and research will prove it to you.

Finally, in DC, race and poverty are so closely linked as to be proxies for each other in many cases. There are substantial numbers of black and brown children living in poverty. Most of the white children in DC are, at best, middle or upper middle class. That you are going out of your way to be obtuse about that either tells me that you're not a DC resident or that you are a racist who is uncomfortable with being called a racist. [/quote]
