[quote=Anonymous]OP, I understand your concerns. I too (as mixed-race child) dealt with the challenges and frustrations of being an outcast of both white and black groups growing up. The "low expectations" of the black community you mentioned (kids demeaning other kids if they are "too smart" or "too white") is rampant. However, I don't think you'll come across this problem (as you'll likely never go to the schools where it's an issue). There are many middle class black and white families/students. I wish there was a way to change the culture of low expectations among the black community. As for the white community, I'll leave that for someone else to tackle. I think every school is different. No issues at my child's school with either race. [/quote]
