[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree, OP sounds practical and forthright.  If you value diversity over high SES representation, more power to you.  If she doesn't, and wants her kid in a majority high SES school like Brent, more power to her.  To each her own in a free society.  [/quote]

OP equates school success with SES, which is an ecological fallacy.  You can diversity in more than skin color, and I'll tell you from experience that you may be surprised at what you learn from the "other" kids. "Diversity"  "high SES" -- in this context these are thinly veiled coded statements for saying you don't want your kid in a school with any significant African American representation. Everyone on this board knows exactly what that means.

Private schools are full of high "SES" families -- why not just take the obvious route?  There's always CHDS for $30K/yr. You won't have to worry about "rowdy" classrooms there.  Unless of course OP is just a CHEAP status seeker.

OP isn't concerned with what's best for kid educationally -- OP is concerned with what's best for status conscious self.  It's pretty sad.[/quote]
