[quote=Anonymous]UMC Af-Am family here. One kid is slightly academically advanced, the other is average. We are NOT WOTP and do not want to be -to us, diversity means more than a few brown kids in the class or neighborhood. That said, we absolutely get NO attention for either kid in the schools. This is in STARK contrast to the similarly-situated white kids at the school - some of whom are given enrichment activities and others who are “average”who are given focus because they might be able to help with PARCC scores. Nobody in the schools sees our kids as anything since we are not low-income, there are no special needs and we are not white. I have been sick to my stomach for two years about this. What do we want? A good education for our kids and schools that are as committed to our type of family as any other type of family. And we do not think we should have to go WOTP for that.[/quote]
