[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An average private you're paying tuition so your kid doesn't have to interact with the bottom third or half of an average public.[/quote]

This isn't the case in our experience with NW DC schools in DCPS.  In fact, our kids' big-3 private school is more diverse (racial/economic) than our local DCPS by a lot.  From our perspective, a more significant consideration is that a top private school just increases the likelihood that a student "doesn't have to interact with" [b]truly disruptive kids who either wouldn't get accepted to private[/b] or will be asked to leave sooner in private than in public.[/quote]

Yikes. That is what PP meant!! Your perspective on diversity is unfortunate.[/quote]

new poster here:  Don't be ridiculous.  "Truly disruptive kids" and "the bottom third...of an average public" are hardly  the same thing.  Why would you deem it so offensive that someone prefers school not be disrupted by seriously bad behavior (and surely far less than 1/3 of society)?  Do you want your workday disrupted by bad behavior?[/quote]
