[quote=Anonymous]There are many diverse schools in Montgomery and Fairfax Counties.   DCPS seems to have the most  problem with integration.  The problem with DCPS is not integration the problem is that the majority of them are crappy.   Manny AA families wouldn't want their children to attend DCPS either.  Those who want true integration will incorporate it in their life through friends, place of worship, social activities, etc.  You don't have to wait for the schools if you want your child to have friends of other races and cultures.  How about establishing friendships with other moms of different races if you want integration, invite someone of a different race to your home for dinner, attend diversity/multicultural events, etc.  Integration starts at home.  If you truly want it, then you will adopt a multicultural way of thinking and living.

It's funny because the main folks that talk about school integration are the main ones who self segregate in their personal lives.  Gandhi once said,  " You be the change that you want to see in the world."  So, make the change to integrate others into your personal life and be real about it.   Less talk more action.  What good is a diverse school going to do when you self-segregate yourself in other areas of your life?  It is up to you the parent.  Stop waiting on the schools and others.  You want change, then make it happen in your life period.  [/quote]
