[quote=Anonymous]It makes me sad to hear people say "I'd never send DC to a school where s/he is the only (color/race)." Though I do understand the adoptive parent's reasoning because there are complicated family/identity issues that go along with it. But for the rest of us: how do you know the backgrounds of these children? In many areas of NE or Capitol Hill or other parts of the city, there are handfuls of schools with middle class families who are dying to send their kids to the neighborhood elementary. Some already are making the leap. But you'd never know it unless you seriously considered them, met some folks, and looked beyond their skin color, and learned that - GASP!: all the black children in my class are not poor! In fact, a solid third are middle class! Would that change any of your minds? This thread just really disappoints me. [/quote]
