[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It won't sink in here. It never does. I don't see any opinions being changed here. The only way to counteract them is through engaged political action.[/quote]

Fk that noise. I’m doing what’s best for junior. Keep your social engineering to yourself.[/quote]

I send my kids to a Title 1 elementary school because it's a good place for them. Make schools appealing to the parents you want to attract and they'll come. Not complicated, and not "engaged political action." There was a thread about ms/hs recently and so many parents would be happy to send their kids to existing dcps middle schools that aren't hardy or deal if they just committed to a curriculum that would be appropriate/challenging.

But this is where things break down because no they won’t send their kids to challenging schools with majority minority students, see Banneker! They claim they want challenging but they don’t.[/quote]

My preference would be something closer to where we live, but that's certainly on my list, if we can get through middle school. That said, I don't think it's unreasonable to prefer a school which is majority minority but has some white kids over one which has almost none. We saw from the mathematica study that it's not just white parents who have these types of preferences. [/quote]
