[quote=Anonymous]2. To build empathy in my kids by being around more diversity in their classmates - and to not expect a coddled learning environment as the “base case” from the get-go I put my DS in a diverse and crunchy cheap neighborhood Montessori preschool to achieve this. One kid had a talk box bc of a speech impediment and other kids were poor, and plenty of racial diversity. He did learn kindness and how to talk to and be around lots of different kinds of kids. We ended up moving to a wealthier area for kindergarten and the public school is full of kids who are coddled and lacking empathy. We ended up switching to a religious private later in elementary. This is not a public vs private issue. [/quote]
