Yes, there are poor families who have the internal structure of UMC families, but they are in the minority in DC. KIPP is targeting those kids whose parents don't ask about homework, aren't conditioned to sit and pay attention to a teacher, who don't know the "soft skills" that UMC kids learn. They are in the business of filling gaps. [/quote]

This is unbelievably racist. You think that the white UMC kids of DC have the soft skills that make them "conditioned to sit and pay attention to a teacher"? No, they have parents who will argue that it's not developmentally appropriate for them to sit still and that they need a yoga ball or fidget or ability to move during lessons or... any number of things. It is the white parents I know who don't ask about homework and argue for less of it. Sheesh.[/quote]

A good 60-75% of the white women on DCUM are unfortunately ignorant and racist. It's pretty sad given dc is so diverse. We just hope their racist ways don't spill over to their kids...[/quote]

Listen to yourself. You don't know the races of the posters unless they identify themselves (and honestly at that), and even then you have no idea if it is one or two vocal people or 100% of white people, or trolls of other races or whatever. You don't know the races of the posters who call out others for making ignorant comments-- what percentage of those posters are you assuming are white? Zero? The fact that you would read an anonymous website and then use it to make a judgement about people you don't even know is ... well you know the name for it, don't you.[/quote]

+1. The baseless generalizations by posters complaining about baseless generalizations are tiresome.[/quote]
