[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think there is a tipping point at which having too many low income students may become a disadvantage to that MC/UMC child in the form of low income students needing more attention from faculty/staff to possibly not having a big enough academic peer group. IMO, that tipping point is anything above 25 to 30%. Others may feel differently. [b]I also think some SES diversity is a good thing[/b], however, not from an education perspective, but just from a exposure to diversity perspective.[/quote] A good thing, for whom? The major argument against high-poverty schools is that high-poverty schools are bad for children who live in poverty. Income diversity most benefits children who live in poverty. Is that the perspective you're talking about? Or are you saying that you think it's good for children from affluent families to be exposed to children who live in poverty?[/quote]
