[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll put it this way... no one moves to a neighborhood to go to Kenmore. People DO move to neighborhoods to avoid Kenmore.[/quote]

I know a number of kids that transfered to kenmore because of their arts focus. [/quote]

So the constant violence is OK as long as there is an arts focus?[/quote]

Constant violence? There is no way a bunch of white UMC parents would let their kids stay in Kenmore if there was *constant* violence. That is not a thing.

Also, somebody upthread mentioned the uncomfortable fact that Kenmore students tend to self-segregate. It's highly likely that the victims and the perpetrators are of the same race and often switch roles.

This isn't totally related, but I have substituted in quite a few schools and from what I have seen, classroom behavior is unrelated to race or SES. A lot of students in gifted clusters are more poorly behaved than students in English Learner classes. It depends more on the cohort than SES or the rigor of the classes. [/quote]
As a sub you don’t get told who is in the gifted cluster. [/quote]

If the teacher puts it in the sub notes you do....[/quote]
And the teacher indicates which kids are gifted? [/quote]
