[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child currently attend a DC private school. We are contemplating moving to a better school district. We're looking at homes in the Carderock, Seven Locks areas.  I'm concerned that my child will be the only African American (or minority) child in the class (I viewed the Carderock website and saw no children of color on the PTA webpage), and that he'll as a result be adversely affected.  For those familiar with these schools, I'd appreciate any insight you can offer regarding this issue.  [/quote]

I say to suck it up.

We have good friends (high-powered black couple) with two kids in private schools.  Both children are clearly minorities, but b/c their parents don't make a big deal of it, the kids are fine. One is in my daughter's class (elementary); the other is at a private girls' school (middle).

Both are receiving an excellent education.  There comes a time when you need to choose.  And when you're given a strong foundation, you're more likely to succeed. Furthermore, YOU'RE the main teacher for your children.  So when difficulties arise, they'll be fine if you're there to help them.

best of luck in your decision[/quote]
