Thanks. This can help us guess how successful DEI will be to solve racial issues at school, when in practice it is about creating same-race groups at school.

Its not the affinity groups keeping kids separate it’s the country clubs.

Yes, you are basically saying the same thing a previous poster was saying: segregation is mainly due to income.
Only rich people are members of country clubs.

Schools can do nothing to mitigate the problem above. But they can at least not throw gasoline to an existing fire, by creating same-race groupings at school.

Do you think the purpose of DEI is so that all groups of races can come together and sing kumbaya in class? If that is your understanding I think you gravely misunderstood its purpose.

Please let us know the purpose.

You can access the purpose on websites of most schools. The purpose won’t be the same at all of them but nearly none of them are likely to say the purpose is to foster friendship across races.

That's how I understood it but then a previous poster said "

This poster implies I understand DEI wrong, but probably they understand it wrong?

Sure they can. They can actually walk the DEI walk and admit more middle and low income kids and fewer CC kids.

PP thinks money grows on trees. Where is the millions in lost tuition and annual fund contributions going to come from?

You need to understand that you need the rich families to fund the school. Without an enough number of rich families and their donations you cannot have a private school. I am not one of the rich at our school, but I appreciate that there are many full pay families who also donate a good amount of money. They are contributing to their child's and the education of financial aid families' kids'. I have no complaints of the existence of rich families at our school. I also believe the school is doing as much as they can to accept a diverse class. This is what I see in admitted classes.

You also need to understand that schools can only accept from the pool of applicants. As an example, our preschool director mentioned a few years back that they want to admit more diverse body but they cannot accept anyone who did not apply at the school.

+1. Just dropping 10 full pay tuition kids at $50k per year and replacing with 10 new full financial aid students amounts to a loss of $5 million in 10 years. Throw in lost annual fund contributions on top of that.

The classic way DEOB works is that the only worthy MC and LMC kids to admit are black. Which is offensive . And not diverse. And btw most of the AA kids at these schools are rich. It’s insulting that you equate color with income

Then stop saying the school is diverse because if tuition is $60k/yr, the school is not and cannot be diverse.

It has the kind of diversity they want. It just may not match what you want.

Laughable that in a city like DC. That your preschool director can’t figure out how to diversify the applicant pool. He/she should be fired for incompetence if this is true…but I’m guessing it’s just a cop out to explain the lack of diversity that exists within your school. Much easier to say “kids of color aren’t applying” than to say “we are not reaching out to connect to communities where these kids exist, but we are ok with the status quo”

Stop pushing your agenda. If you want more financial aid, just figure out how to pay full price for your own kids.

I didn't say this was a preschool in DC. The preschool community was a good representation of the neighboring community itself.
