[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] International diversity isn’t viewed as counting. People talk about how are elementary school isn’t diverse, but ignore that there are families from ~35 different countries. In my view, that adds tremendous value, at least as much as traditional diversity.[/quote] Obviously international diversity is one kind of diversity. But when an elementary school has families from 35 different countries, but only 7% of the students come from poor families in a school district where 38% of elementary-school students come from poor families, are you really going to say that this elementary school is diverse? Maybe you will, but I wouldn't. I wouldn't say that this school is economically segregated. I know somebody who went to RM when it was still racially segregated [i]de jure[/i]. She says that there actually were some black kids there: the children of diplomats. So there's another example of international diversity at a segregated school.[/quote]
