[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God, why would anyone think that schools with large numbers of poor black children are unsafe spaces? [/quote]

It is sad, but people have sometimes unintentional biases. Most people are not overtly racist, but we all need to think about where our opinions are coming from on issues such as this. Fact or emotion?

I am sad at how Kenmore has been dragged down and trashed in this discussion. Look at the stats (already posted more than once in this thread.) Non-FARMS/ELL kids are thriving at Jenmore and in some areas score better than Swanson on SOLs. Overall, there are some kids at Kenmore who may be struggling more, but wouldn’t all of us if we were learning in another language?

I hope the SB can adjust the options so that people living 2 blocks away keep walking to their school (agree that moving them is silly) but let’s not drag Kenmore down in this. It is a good school with hard-working teachers and students who deserve the same education as any other child in Arlington! [/quote]
