[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article is so timely (based on that other thread).

To be honest, I don't think this article or its conclusions have any bearing whatsoever in a public school district like ours where the school system has been so incredibly dys ( non ) functional and abusive for decades and where the results of generations of poverty, exclusion and horrid public policy affects the level of behavior and functioning among both the adults and the children in our schools.

We require a baseline of functionality and professionalism in our school system before the benefits of racial integration on this article even apply.  Cart before the horse here.  Tease out for me whether integration leads to better schools or whether integration is better for the social development of kids in those schools.  Because I've read that, too. I can't remember if my children are supposed to be the vector or the recipient of benefits in this fun game.
