[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What excatly are W schools? I moved here from Delaware 2 years ago and just love this school system. My daughter is in 8th grade and picked Einstein for dance and IB! However, I'm hearing so much about W schools but don't know excatly what they are I even try to search it up. Are they magnets? Or private schools?[/quote]

Many think W stands for white since these are the schools that remained largely segregated.[/quote]

Yup -- and the parents there try to act like they're just better, when in reality they're just full of rich white and Asian kids who can afford tutors. [/quote]

You may be right that parents try to act like they’re just better, but what is wrong with rich white Asian kids who can afford tutors? I really don’t understand the contempt.[/quote]

There's nothing wrong with them. The point is people are acting like the schools are better, when in reality they're just full of kids who can afford to pay for additional help. These other schools, by corollary, aren't worse just because their test scores are lower. [/quote]
