I find the picture extremely offensive.  We all seem to accept that many Ward 3 parents peel off for BASIS and Latin, which are both majority AA.  DEAL is majority AA as well.

Some OOB kids come to JKLM having skipped two grades in their old school and in their new school they are behind academically and socially, and can't or won't repeat a grade.  I get why these kids are upset, but upset can equal disruptive as well as behind.  Disruptive can tank a class and make every other kid lose out for a year.  Behind does not do that.  OOB can mean many things.  It does not mean  brown.

Signed,
A parent of four "brown" faces IB at JKLM who would never send kids to a 50% FARMS school because I went to one.  Not having it.  Not doing it.  And not white.[/quote]
