[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]THIS. All the kids tend to get shortchanged without a good cohort of middle-class neighborhood parents onboard to push back against crappy management practices.[/quote] You should listen the Nice White Parents Serial Podcast. It is basically about the long history of white parents trying to be saviors. Also, do you think that schools fail in places with high poverty because of bad management and not, for instance, a whole host of other issues? If only Jack Welsh was running the schools all those poor kids would be at Mann or Lafayette. [/quote] You're painting with much too broad a brush. There are some local schools whose populations are almost entirely and minority and low SES with GOOD management. e.g. Jefferson Academy in SW. But, generally this just isn't the case. Pushy middle class parents can do a great deal to help schools improve - e.g. Maury, Brent, Ludlow on Cap Hill.[/quote]
