[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are several people arguing both sides here so people are talking past each other. And a new, truly nasty, racist person has entered the conversation and really made it deteriorate. I think we can all agree on that.[/quote]

The crux of the issue is Chinese, Russian, and other American subgroups don’t want to go to elementary schools that are predominantly Hispanic or black. That’s the reality whether others want to tiptoe around it. Notice the counter argument is “go to Ps6” which is on the UES, is 63 percent white and 16 percent Asian. Other posters are demanding successful outerborough families make decisions they’d never make themselves. [/quote]

Please correct me if I'm wrong but if a kid is in a predominantly Russian or Chinese or whatever else neighborhood, the zoned public school will likely be a majority people from that group? So can't they kind of do a coup and demand excellence. I know it is far from as easy as I make it sound, particularly with the nightmarish bureaucracy of the DOE, but it is worth a shot and just as likely to succeed as resting ones hopes on "G&T". Just because something is labeled G&T and has some increasingly arbitrary test doesn't make it great. [/quote]
