[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All grand sounding 21:58 but I'm waiting to see who's left in 12th grade (my kids are in preschool). If most of the white and Asian kids who started in 5th are gone by then, forget it. Linear algebra at age 15, fabulous, still don't want the ghetto social issues. [/quote] I wouldn't want my child around you dirty white people that smell like dogs![/quote] I am AA and I doubt very seriously this was written by someone white ao please don't respond to this poster or get sucked in to her inferiority issues. It sounds like the AA person whose has asserted that both her and her husband have "Ivy League" degrees and live in Petworth. She seems to have some type of "Clarence Thomas" issue that either came from her parents or her Ivy League education. BTW - White parents are not generally inolved in "ghetto social issues", hence the different experiences at Deal for white students versus black students. Being a native Washingtonian, I will be very pleased if my DC can go to school with as many high-performing AA boys and girls as possible. I don't want him to get the message that the school has to be majority white in order to receive a quality education. However, my experience may be different from others - I have cousins that attended Dunbar during segreation when it was the highest performing high school in the District white or black. For those not familiar with D.C. history, at that time AA Harvard and other Ivy League graduates had a choice upon returning to D.C. to either work at the Post Office or teach at Dunbar. The school was off the chain and 100% AA. I will be at Basis next year for 5th and will be avoiding this parent, her child and others of her ilk like a plague. I will also be embracing the low-SES high performing kids. From my experience, I find them to be highly moral and motivated, with parents with high standards, which they have to be in order to achieve under their circumstances. LOL[/quote]
