[quote=Anonymous]The question at hand is: Are the leaders of these charter schools that have higher ( not too high ) percentage of white students doing the same thing the KIPP person did to pp: somehow discouraging or turning away or cheating black families. The answer is no. The majority of students at these schools ARE African American. In one case, more than 80%. Perhaps these programs ( classical education, language immersion, expeditionary learning ) appeal more to highly educated, middle class families. Now, is that a problem? Do we want charter schools that appeal to middle class families? That is a conversation I am willing to engage in. A conversation about "too many white students". No.[/quote]
