I have not heard the rumors about the Lakeside being an "all white" school, but I find those untrue. What we need more diversity of is the brazillians. Not enough Brazillians at the school.Andrénoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151096942903989101.post-37459822522457684002009-11-03T18:31:38.429-05:002009-11-03T18:31:38.429-05:00The Latino community is a major cultural and econo...The Latino community is a major cultural and economic force in Atlanta, especially along the Buford Hwy corridor. Schools like Cross Keys are a key in the transition of many of this community's children to vital, English speaking, politically conscious members of our society. These kids will have the power someday. <br /><br />DCSS doesn't have the cultural awareness to recognize this and assume its own responsibility to this community in a positive, supportive, and non-political manner. <br /><br />Cross Keys, its feeder schools, and schools like Lakeside who have significant Latino populations are only candlelights in the darkness of DCSS's discrimination against this population.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151096942903989101.post-61013518714278307192009-11-03T00:12:48.889-05:002009-11-03T00:12:48.889-05:00Any word on how many parents showed up at LHS'...Any word on how many parents showed up at LHS' "get to know us" meeting for the Hispanic community?No Duhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14462063673391668451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151096942903989101.post-58708359704542605352009-11-02T22:12:38.137-05:002009-11-02T22:12:38.137-05:00Now, nothing keeps anyone from entering the Ms. La...Now, nothing keeps anyone from entering the Ms. Lakeside Pageant. Everyone who wants to be in the competition as a senior is welcome. Being in this contest has nothing to do with whomever you are. Being in the pageant is a choice.<br /><br />I have worked with the pageant and see the benifit of such things. Maybe this is because I participating in many, when I was young. Again, this is a choice. The members of the Miss Lakeside Pageant do not discriminate.<br /><br />Now I am not one to think highly of anyone who thinks they are better than anyone else. But you have these individuals in all schools. Lakeside has some wonderful parents just like all other schools in the county. <br /><br />EllaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151096942903989101.post-22568600144938723622009-11-01T21:43:30.003-05:002009-11-01T21:43:30.003-05:00There are going to be groups like that in any scho...There are going to be groups like that in any school - but by and large, Lakeside has some pretty nice people in its community, IMO>Cerebrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161868015604029471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151096942903989101.post-41425427975648638042009-11-01T19:44:43.734-05:002009-11-01T19:44:43.734-05:00Not just Central office.

They treat the black students as probable admin transfers and the hispanic students as non existent. One of the reasons the rest of the county thinks LHS is majority white (which it isn't) is because it acts that way.<br /><br />Really. Go watch Miss Lakeside sometime (if you can stomach it). Not a Latina in the field. I would like to think it is because they are doing something more worthwhile...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151096942903989101.post-86820698159700724392009-11-01T18:56:51.721-05:002009-11-01T18:56:51.721-05:00Joe Reed is a class act.

Notice how a principal has to set up and reach out to Latino parents.<br /><br />DCSS, with its endless number of administrators, has virtually ignored its Latino population. Just ask Kim G. from Cross Keys.<br /><br />The county's Latino population is growing and growing, especially along the Bufird Highway corridor.<br /><br />Nice to see Joe Reed step up, because no one at the DCSS Central Office will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
