[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate when rich educated people pretend that poor performers will magically become top performers by getting bussed to schools with high performers.  What a hoot. Where in the world has that ever happened?[/quote]

I hate when people claim that this is about test scores.[/quote]

Give me a school with all poor kids or minorities that have top test scores and I'd send my kid there.  Unfortunately, it's like a rainbow unicorn.  The fact that I want my kid with high performers doesn't make me racist or elitist.  I work very hard with my kid.[/quote]

So you'd be fine with poor kids or minorities, if they had top test scores. But they don't, so you're not.[/quote]

I want my kids surrounded by hard working/high performing kids. I don't want my kids surrounded by kids who aren't. [/quote]

But that's not how public schools work here. In the public school you're zoned for, your kids are surrounded by kids who live in the area zoned for the public school you're zoned for. Some of these kids work hard, some of them don't. Some of these kids have high test scores, some of them don't.[/quote]
