[quote=Anonymous]I’m white, LMC upbringing, now UMC. I have one in an expensive (over $40k for ES) DC private. I had intended to do public, but this particular child does better in smaller groups so decided to give private a try. I was not intimidated but l kind of wish l had been? Like l was frank with other parents that l hadn’t initially planned on private and would see how it goes for my kid. I think l turned off the private school lifers immediately. I don’t feel shunned, but l don’t feel welcome. The school is maybe half lifers, half more diverse, so my kid has friends but not as many as l would have hoped for. [/quote]
