[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm struggling with this, and am grateful this is an anonymous board, so please be gentle.  I have a middle class white kid who will be starting in Prek3 next year.  I have absolutely no concerns with sending her to a school that is primarily black/latino.  We live in Brightwood and racial and socioeconomic diversity are a pro in our book, not a con.  But when I see a school that is 0-1% white, I wonder what her experience would be like as the ONLY white kid.  Is that a valid concern? If your kids attend one of these schools, how do you think a white kid would fit in?  If you're a parent to a white kid, did you/would you send your kid to one of these schools?[/quote]

I wasI would only do it if you raise your kid in the community KIPP draws from, have many friends and playmates of same, so feels seamless. Do you like the KIPP model? Many parents embrace it because it is supplementing some structures they can't provide or support in their home or community. Is that the case for your family? It's very testing oriented with a strong emphasis on discipline through group chants and stuff like that. [/quote]
