[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is not racial diversity, it is socio-economic diversity. My DD goes to a very successful and diverse school. But, it is not economically diverse. Unfortunately, in this country, economically disadvantage and some racial minorities show a very high correlation. The issues are: 1) poor people typically have to work more hours, so less time at home; 2) poor people are typically less educated, and can not help the children to the same degree; 3) Poor people can not contribute as much financial resources to their children's education. [/quote] I agree with all of this but why does it necessarily have to mean a poor quality school? It might mean lower test scores but that shouldn't have an impact on the quality of instruction.[/quote]
