Poverty is corrosive.  So long as poor kids make up a fraction of the school population, things are manageable.  That's why we should be working to reduce poverty--not blaming those who point out its negative effects.

One of my pet peeves is suburbanites who pretend not to be able to comprehend why DCPS has to spend so much money for such minimal results.  It's because we've got a multi-century legacy of slavery that's crippled generation after generation of inner city learners:

The sooner that some of that poverty gets distributed to the suburbs, the better off the poor will be in the long term.

One of my pet peeves is urbanites who act like they are God's gift to humanity by enrolling their kids in some marginal DCPS elementary school and then reappear touting Whitman or Sidwell a few years later.[/quote]
