[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, [b]I find the white UMC families LESS likely to go to the burbs [/b]than the minority families. No hard numbers, this is a purely anecdotal observation. These friends aren't going to jeopardize their kids future for some nebulous "change". I know Asian, AA, and mixed families that all have said similar things. Now this is all EOTP; WOTP seems to be a bit different - not many minorities to start off with.[/quote] It played out at our HRCS, though it was all UMC families, not just white ones. When my kid started in PK3, there was a small but strong cadre of UMC families. By the time middle school rolled around, 8 years later, virtually all had left (including us). Some went to other charters, some moved out of the area, some moved to the suburbs, and some (the lucky ones, IMO) who were IB to Deal went there. [/quote]
