[quote=Anonymous]Actually, you are making incorrect assumptions. I believe that what is best in the big picture for the disadvantaged children in DCPS is a robust, healthy and well-run school system. I believe a large part of creating that is having large numbers of middle and upper class families engaged in the school system. When I make an argument against a student assignment policy that is predicated solely on the redistribution of middle class families throughout the system, I do so not for the benefit of those middle class families or my own kids, but for the outcome such a hamfisted policy would have on the entire system which would end up with a worse outcome for the disadvantaged kids. Just because people don't agree with the way you think things should be doesn't mean that their core motivations are different from yours. An open mind would help you enormously.[/quote]
