[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ yes, but at Wilson, my DC won't be the only non-AA student, nor the only one scoring advanced.[/quote]

With the boundary chances your DC won't be the only non-AA advanced student at Eastern -- there could be many, especially since Eastern population is small compared to Wilson. Wilson is only 20% White, remember.[/quote]

This is a very real issue. Until there is a critical mass of white kids, the IB white parents are NOT sending their kids there. It just wont happen.  How many white kids have attened Eastern in the last 20 years? none? maybe 5?   It doesn't matter if they have the top scores in the City. it won't happen. [b]Same reason white parents don't choose banneker even though its probably more rigorous than Wilson. Less than 5 white kids. [/b]   This is what parents mean when they talk to each other about "we all just need to stick together through each grade"- they mean a cohort of high SES white kids.[/quote]

I think the real reason that white parents don't send their children to Banneker is because they fear their child's self esteem will be crushed when their white child is outperformed by Black students from a lower SES.  [/quote]

Nope, we're worried about their spirit being crushed by a bunch of AA kids who have been brought up to hate and vilify white people. BTDT. [/quote]
