Go ahead and contact the county office and inquire about this statistic. [b]This is about pursuing truth and reality. [/b]Sometimes it’s gonna hurt to know these things but you should still be aware before you go around trying to be a champion for a cause you are ill informed about.[/quote]

If you know something to be a fact, then say it.

+1 PP doesn't seem to have any data on kids of color dropping out of magnet programs but wants to insinuate that Black and Latinx kids aren't "thriiving" in the programs. Well, I don't have data either, but anecdotally I can tell you that I've put two kids through the magnet program and, again anecdotally, white kids are MORE likely to drop out than kids of color. I can't tell you why that is, but I suspect that it has something to do with white parents assuming their kid will be "fine" no matter what, while parents of color are more likely to see the program as a unique opportunity that may not come back around.
