[quote=Anonymous]My kids have never had more than 3 white kids in their class in ES (total of maybe 9-10 per grade). The school is a Title 1 school, so heavily FARMs and we are clearly one of the wealthier families. We have had a wonderful experience there for the past 7 years. Is it hard to communicate with some parents because of a language barrier? Sure. We have gotten around that by sending home a handwritten note inviting the child to a play date. The child can then translate for the parent and the play date moves forward. Kids are kids regardless of skin color or the girth of a wallet. We have met many, many wonderful kids at our school - I would imagine in that regard it's no different than a whiter, wealthier school. Give the school and the kids a chance and be patient and creative and it may just turn out o be a wonderful experience for you as well.[/quote]
