OP here.  I agree.  That is why we are moving.  We want to move into a more diverse neighborhood. There is no other reason we are moving.  My kids are getting a great academic education in FCC, but not a real world education by not seeing economic and racial diversity.  Because of our concern about integration, I was alarmed by the idea of separation of the "smart kids" and generally have an allergic reaction to putting kids in boxes.[/quote]

I hope you realize what a horrible person you sound like.  Everyone in America seems to want to separate themselves from others who they believe are not as good as them.  elitism and superiority are diseases of the soul that we are teaching our children through our education systems and, it seems, many parents here are also teaching their children.  To view the "real" world as a place where those who are smarter should and deserve to have more advantages and get more, is a symptom of that.  Challenge kids differently - yes. You can have kids doing really well in math be in advanced classes and kids doing really well in English doing advanced classes without lumping the whole child into a box with a special label.  I think that in Fairfax the AAP label is a badge that parents need more than one that benefits the kids.[/quote]

They are just pointing out the hypocrisy. Many people want integration to a point as long as their kid can still be successful. That's their threshold which often can't be met in a poor neighborhood.[/quote]
