[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] white people also pay taxes and are also entitled to a free and public education in the city where they live. When they are accepted through a charter lottery there is nothing barely legal about it. If you want barely legal, check out the new for minority boys HS. If you want more Latins, throw your weight behind expansion. I agree its a fantastic model whose only limitation is its small size. The school itself should stay small thats its beauty. However, given the demand there are grounds for replication. It would be interesting to ser how it worked in ward 7 or 8 as an all AA school which it sounds like is what you want. I would argue for more in central locations (difficult in DC ) that continued to draw a high level of interest across different populations. [/quote]

Thank you, Sir.

As a Latino, I'm tired of this racial obsession in DC.

Schools are there to educate, and every kid counts the same, regardless of race or ethnicity.[/quote]

DCPS can do things like the high school for boys and application schools because they provide other schools open to all students (e.g. their IB comprehensive high school). Charters can't have any selectivity and are required to do significant outreach to show they are trying to recruit a diverse applicant pool.

The idea for replicating a second Washington Latin, to be located in Ward 7 or 8, is coming from the Washington Latin Board of Directors.

[b]As for Latinos, the last year we have public data for (2014-15) there were no Latino students enrolled in either Washington Latin middle or high school.[/b]

May be some reporting hitch. I know a good numbers of Latino students there, and last time I checked I believe they accounted for 15% or so of the student body.

In any case, I'd love for all this race-based profiling to stop.[/quote]
