[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Private schools have more diversity than public schools in wealthy enclaves.”

Having a bunch of 1%er kids who have light brown skin isn’t diversity. Have your private admit 20% FARMS kids, half of whom don’t speak English and the other half have behavioral problems because of fetal alcohol syndrome or childhood trauma - then we’ll talk. [/quote]

I’m one of the PPs above. Our public option has no economic diversity. It has a 0% FARMS rate. It also has no brown kids, light skinned or not.

I’m a brown person and grew up treated like sh!t because if it (in the south). My high school had a high FARMS rate and ESL population and I got an awesome education. I was still treated badly because of my brown skin because I was the only brown person in the honors/AP classes. Diversity doesn’t always result in integration or acceptance.

I’m not repeating that experience for my kids, and at their independent school they are one of several brown people, even in small classes. [/quote]
