[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You go elsewhere.

I feel bad saying it, but it's the reality. Your white, wealthy kid might be ok in PreK, but even by K the other kids will make his life miserable. We had to leave a school that was great on paper, but socially horrible. Some people will remember me posting before, about the kids who invited my five-year-old "get your white ass out of here".

That's terrible.

Does this hold true with just inner city DC or do other races or cultures welcome Caucasians more ( I am thinking maybe the Hispanic population in south arlington and other primarily hispanic areas)[/quote]

I really hate that the pp had that experience...
but you cannot be  dumb enough to think that all black people and all hispanic people across the board will do that at any school that is primarily made up of people of color..
like all the black/hispanic people in south arlington are just the same as the people in se dc...
SHEESH!
Ask about social environment of SPECIFIC schools...[/quote]

are you white[/quote]
what difference does it make?
i could be purple and green striped but I know that because people share a race/ethnicity doesn't mean they share the same attitude and/or behaviour...
I know that the purple and greenstriped kids at rockville elementary may not do the same things as the purple/green striped kids at olney elementary...
Understand?
You have to ask about the environment at the specific school...[/quote]
