[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never bring this up in real life so I will ask here. What are the make up of kids (racial / public vs private) at your AOPS and RSM campuses? I'm not in DC but we feel very much like outsiders. At RSM it is all Russian speaking parents with a few Indian families, mostly public school and some science magnets. At AOPS it's 100% Indian and Asian mostly public school. I don't even live in an area with signifiant Indian, Russian, and Asian populations so I think they are driving in other towns. TBH I always thought of AOPS as a nerdy white homeschool or science kids kind of franchise. I feel weird at pick up because at RSM all the parents talk to each other in Russian and talk to staff while I sit there like an idiot. Same in AOPS except in Chinese. [/quote]
You shouldn't feel weird. Just say "hi" in English - if they ignore you, move on to a different person to say "hi" to (there are nice and rude people of all races).

At the same time, it's not like you need to make friends with everyone there, either. You can be on your phone etc. if you want.[/quote]
