[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Oh wow, listening right now--what a tough account from the young lady who described the loneliness and discrimination  she  and others experienced being one of the very few visible minority students at Whitman. [/quote]

Yes-- she said if she'd known in advance what she knows now about being a student of color at Whitman, she would have transferred to a different school. I thought that was really sad. [/quote]

Keep in mind that this is also true of students of other races who are "in the minority" in schools in other parts of the county.  It's often hard for those students to fit in, as well.[/quote]

I'm hard pressed to think of a school anywhere in MCPS where a white child would be in as much of a minority as a Black kid in some of the west county schools. Whitman has so few Black kids that they don't even register statistically. Is there a school in MCPS where white kids are in that much of a minority? Kennedy may be the only one.  [/quote]

My kid goes to one for elementary school. So far she's been fine but is only in kindergarten.[/quote]
Here's an ES where white is <5%., but the HS is a different story.
