[quote=Anonymous]Come on, the issue is around 80% class, not race. Peruse the thread and read the writing on the wall: most of the ravers have young children. You're not hearing a lot from those at charters with kids in upper elementary grades, or DCPS middle schools (other than Deal; where are the Hardy, SH and EH ravers?). There is a well-documented achievement gap in this city that's much wider than that of any state. Two obvious reasons for the gap: Metro area black upper-middle-class families will hardly touch DC public schools as a group, and poor administration of DCPS since the 70s. Turning things around slowly will surely drive many of the ravers, perhaps even most, out before high school. Nobody should be shocked. Making factual statements about student achievement hardly constitutes racism, folks. Bona fide racists wouldn't bother with DCPS EotP, or charters. [/quote]
