[quote=Anonymous]Have not posted here.  This discussion is interesting because a high school's ability to attract Asian parents is the acid test.  Italian-Americans (I'm one) and others tend to be less exacting, explaining why NYC's 8 famous magnet high schools are majority Asian to an institution in a city that's not 10% Asian.  From where I sit, the issue isn't "unacknowledged racism," or a parent's failure to support DC public schools, as much as newly acknowledged logic about what the city needs to do to keep a sizeable upper-middle-class cohort past ES. On the MD & VA threads at election time, pps put up lists of ward, county + state politicians to vote for, those who seem likely to back [i]expanding programs for advanced learners.  [/i]DC parents could organize to support politicians willing to go to bat for ms honors courses and high school programs that can begin to compete with the best in the burbs, while working to oust those who won't (e.g. Tommy Wells, who won't back the Brent + Maury parents on a Stuart Hobson feed, or scrapping the unconstructive Cluster).
