[quote=Anonymous]That is our situation at my local elementary. In my son's class this year, there were 6 out of 25 white children. Only one of those white families had more money than we do. The rest of the class was a mix of different minorities and SES. We are in a transitional neighborhood so I imagine the numbers will shift at some point. Maybe because it is that we are only recently so well-off, but everything seemed fine. I was glad my child did not gravitate right to the only other white children in class; the kids all seem to play together. I didn't notice any self-segregation. Outside of school is slightly different. Many of the kids my son wanted to play with had parents who didn't speak english or who work weekend shifts and just couldn't do it. I am not sure, even after all this babbling, though, what your question is exactly?[/quote]
