[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cities have low performing public schools compared to suburbs. [/quote]
Hmm, I wonder why? Could it be the racial segregation of the past, white flight once segregation was outlawed, the lack of funding as a result of that white flight? Again, it always comes back to the systemic racism this country was founded on. [/quote]

No. Not all cities. Portland, Seattle, and other similarly sized cities always had stronger schools than most of the surrounding suburbs.

Exceptions would be the wealthiest suburbs near the high tech job centers like Bellevue for example. [/quote]

Um... what are you smoking Mr. or Ms. Transplant?  Cow Poop.  I'm from Seattle and have family in Portland, both SPS and PPS have always been substandard since the 1970s and busing wrecked the feeder models which led to traditionally high community enrollment in public schools and weak private schools out West.  After busing and losing feeder rights, anyone who could afford it stayed and sent kids to private.  Others with less settled and moved out to the suburbs, where the schools were demonstrably better.

The dangers of an online community where anyone claims to be an expert (hyping Europe or mythical NYC, pooping on DC for being a second-tier city and all suburbs.  By the way I live in Ward 2).  [/quote]
