[quote=Anonymous]I have a friend whose child was the ONLY white kid in the entire kindergarten grade at his PG county school. Midway through first grade they got another white child in the first grade. So, now he is one of two. The good side of it is that EVERYONE in the admin/staff knew this kid and his parents. Since it is only the early grades, it has not been an issue. I believe the principal, who is also white, told the parents that it isn't really an issue until the 5th or 6th grade ages. I don't know why, maybe kids group together more at that age and a white kid doesn't fit into the culture? I'm not sure. At any rate, I think it doesn't matter too much in the early grades. It probably matters more for the parents as to whether they feel out of sync with the rest of the parents. [/quote]
