[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One truth I'm gathering from this post is that high-SES or high-education parents -- their "race" being irrelevant -- seek to place their kids in a school with likewise high-SES or high-education parents, or in a public magnet school (because magnet schools require a certain achievement level). And, the parents with a lot of disposable income will predominately choose to place their kids in a private school regardless. Of course, it is so easy to accuse white parents of "racism" when they seek to avoid lower-performing DCPS schools (see the Hardy threads, for example), but when you see high-SES black parents doing the same thing, it puts the truth back in view. [/quote] In general, I agree. However, there are definitely at least a few (trolls, hopefully) who like to spew out racist/classist statements about certain schools--just check out one of the Hardy threads.[/quote]
