[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s an international school. There are students from all over the world there from countries that have people of all races and who speak multiple languages. It’s not a school that is lumped in with the same racial lens of an American type school. This is why we chose this school. It takes a globally diverse perspective, not a narrow American one which is always preoccupied with how many people of one color or another there are. [/quote] Completely agree. People should stop applying an American lens/approach in judging how WIS handles racial, cultural, ethnic, and national diversity. It is so much more than how many people of color are there. Many of the kids there in the so-called privileged racial groups have rich life experiences being born and raised in different countries (global north and south). The kids there know that the world is so much bigger than the U.S. and that's a key reason for sending the kids there. [/quote]
