Good luck. It’s a really difficult issue to tackle, since it was done on purpose and those who benefited from the system don’t want it dismantled and the immigrant families only know that they’re lucky to have access to free schools where their children are fed and clothed and learning. The distinction of long-term outcomes being better for their children in less segregated schools and neighborhoods are not that important, given the circumstances they have likely left behind in their home countries, where their children not only might not have received an education, but may not have lived to adulthood. It’s complicated, and can really only be solved by inclusive zoning in neighborhoods with the highest opportunity factors. But even then, it can’t be too much, or the flight to private school will yield the same segregated schools.  :roll: [/quote]
