[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm, What do CMI and SWS have in common that may make both schools somewhat less attractive to some AA families? [/quote]

Perhaps educational approaches that are perceived as being fluffier than what some AAs families may want, and/or reputations that have grown due to word-of-mouth among mostly white DC residents?  I don't know if either explanation is accurate, though.[/quote]

I find it totally bizarre that people seem to be assuming that all Black families want some kind of bootcamp atmosphere for their 3 year olds. I know tons of arty hippie black folks! You do know that being black and ambitious for your kid does not equal compulsory enrollment in KIPP, right? [/quote]

I'm the PP you quoted, and I wasn't necessarily saying these explanations are accurate--I was just saying that these are the explanations that have been put out there on the CMI and SWS threads.  I'm black BTW, and I definitely do know some black families who might go for either curriculum--I wouldn't say a ton, though.  So tell me, where do those arty, hippie AA families send their kids to school?  I'm a newcomer to DC so I don't know, but from these threads, it seems there aren't many of them at either school.[/quote]
