[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an AA parent who wouldn't send my kid to any area school or classroom where at least half the students aren't white or Asian. [...] I'm watching Basis for my ES age children, but if the higher grades are more than half AA (with race being a proxy for class in DC of course) in a few years, forget it. [/quote]

Shame on you. Just as any white or Asian parent, and just as Marion Barry, you should get sent to the time out chair for being so simple-minded. As way too many white parents, you seem incapable to of understanding the complexities of what motivates families to help their children get ahead educationally. There is something in between color blind and blinded by color, with the likes of you - white, black, or whatever, on the latter end of the spectrum. When you're ready to not let yourself be blinded, you'll see that all of us come in all colors when it comes to our kids' education. I know white families with double incomes who let their kids run rampant and keep expectations low, academically and socially, and I know black families who navigate school choices with a keen eye on the ball while one parent is in jail or getting by on welfare checks while looking after two ailing parents. No, white is not always right; and black is not always beautiful. Granted, the world would be an easier place if that were the case.[/quote]
