If students originally belong to other schools, then they should not be sent to your school for no apparent reasons.  "Achieving diversity in my school" is a good motivation but not a good reason (for doing so).

A good approach (not necessarily the effect one) would be advocate your school to the surrounding neighborhood and try to attract an in-flow of people from diverse background.

Who says that students "belong" to this school vs. that school?

You seem to agree that segregated neighborhoods are not a good thing. Why do you think that segregated neighborhoods are bad but segregated schools are fine?[/quote]

If you believe the neighborhood is segregated due to various reasons - solve that. 
I do not have a problem with the current school system that schools take students in the surrounding area. Fine-tuning the school zones are fine with me. [b]Taking a significant number of students from clearly outside regions, is not fine.

Schools are not tools for people to solve "segregated neighborhood".

Why not?

And why aren't schools tools for people to solve segregated schools?[/quote]

Because "segregated schools" are results of other issues.

We correct issues that are wrong (if they really are). We do not correct issues that are not wrong (e.g. students going to their neighborhood schools) just to achieve something else.
