[quote=Anonymous][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.   [b]Making factual statements about student achievement hardly constitutes racism, folks.  [/b]Bona fide racists wouldn't bother with DCPS EotP, or charters.

How is that poster's statement factual?  She was making an assumption based on her beliefs, without any evidence. Have YY' s breakdown of the DC-CAS been posted and everyone except that poster missed the results?  I know, she has talked to all the teachers, and they have personally told her that all the AA students are failing miserably in math, English, and Mandarin. [/quote]
