[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To come to pp defense, it can be hard for kids and families from very different SES to establish friendships outside of school. Playdates and Birthday parties become difficult to arrange if you can't speak the same language. How do I know this? Because my DC attended a very nice school where most of the parents were Hispanic? Everybody was nice but I didn't make friends and neither did my DC. Just something to consider[/quote] Sure, although presumably someone "sophisticated" enough to work for the World Bank would speak Spanish. One of my daughter's best friends has parents who don't speak a ton of English--yeah, I don't hang out with them... but it's not about me. They get along. And value education just as much as we do.[/quote]
