[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14:47 is dead on. School boundaries are not simply a race divide. In my experience as an E of the Park parent with kids both at a WoftheP DCPS and also a charter---[b]middle and upper middle class AA parents are very resistant to sending their kids to poorly performing DCPS schools [/b]because of the fear of negative peer influences. [/quote] Yes, for our AA HIH the fear is negative peer influences. [/quote] Not just poor performing DCPS schools - ANY DCPS. I've seen most of our upper class AA friends peel off at middle (Deal) and expect it to happen again at HS (Wilson). And yes the fear is negative peer influences and/or their child being painted as underachieving.[/quote]
