[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you never tire of your race baiting?  Parents who want neighborhood schools in a city that kept neighborhood schools aren’t the enemy. If SH was at least 2/3 IB and 2/3 Black I highly doubt that anybody on this thread would be complaining.[/quote]

If more parents from the neighborhood sent their kids there, it would become a “neighborhood” school.

And ask yourself this: If the school were 80% white and 80% OOB, do you honestly think people on DCUM would be complaining about it?

Yes, and if more of us neighborhood families sent our kids to SH, many of us would wind up pushed out of the city because we'd be without a remotely acceptable high school.

[b]What are we supposed to do after Hobson if our kids don't get into Walls and we can't afford a private? You tell us. Go to Banneker if we're not black?[/b]  Head to McKinley tech if our kids aren't interested in tech?  Head to Ellington if our kids don't like to perform?  What?  Just not worth the risk to be without a high school.[/quote]

What is exactly is the problem with sending your child to Banneker? Banneker is one of the highest-performing high schools in DC. Are you telling me that you're unwilling to send your child to Banneker because it's too black for you yet your opposition to Stuart Hobson is totally unrelated to how black it is

DP. I’m not ashamed to say I don’t think my DS could handle Banneker! That’s why we are considering SH and not Basis.  But yeah all the parents claiming their kids need to be with a “high performing cohort” really scramble when one mentions Banneker.  Just wait and they will emerge from under their rocks to post all about how Banneker is not “really” high performing. [/quote]
