[quote=Anonymous]Its cultural, and economic. I am a white high SES person, I have the time and energy to organize play dates and worry about "socialization" for my 4 year old. The majoirty of her classmates are from spanish speaking families. The families parents don't know enough english to respond to emails or phone calls. The parents also work multiple jobs at odd hours and aren't around for play dates. Latino families also tend to play with cousins in the extended family on weekends or after school. The AA in the school are primarily very low income and the mom's are NOT friendly to what as seen as the gentrifier element in the school. I also personally witness the moms screaming at their kids, using expletives on the playground in front of their kids etc. If thats how they act in public, no way am I sendng my kid to their house. I also won't send my kid over to public housing to play. All of this is troubling but its just a reality. [/quote]
