[quote=Anonymous]I think that a better understanding of the article is that white kids aren't harmed by being in majority minority schools, rather than benefiting. However, I will say that I do see some advantages from having my child in an integrated school (50/30/20 B/H/W), and it's a mixed blessing like most blessings. One one hand, parent involvement in the PTA and other activities is lower, mostly for socioeconomic and language reasons. This leaves a lot of work to a small group of middle-class English-speaking parents. On the other, the benefit I see is that I feel like my kids are more resilient and independent than their average peers at majority white schools. Again, because of economic issues, parents at the school expect a lot of their kids in terms of walking home alone, helping with siblings, etc. In recognition of this, I feel like the school gives all of the kids more freedom and independence.
