[quote=Anonymous]I don't see what the shock factor is at all. The programs like this where designed to attract higher income white people to voluntarily self intergrate targeted schools for targeted reasons. If the class rooms looked like the normal class rooms in schools such as RT the parents they hoped to use to mix up that satistics would continue to avoid the targeted schools. What part of this is the surprising part? Blair without the magnet would be Wheaton or Einstein, but since they put a spiffy lab in it that parents hope will help their kids college chances, they accept it as a host. It is no different than language immersion which using a self imposed language barrier to make sure the kids don't mix much if at all.[/quote]
