How can SWS be a “super white” school in a citywide school? Aren’t there a significant number of nonwhites that apply to the school in the lottery? Even if it is predominantly White, don’t they teach all students well with the Reggio method—especially those that start at preK?[/quote]

It's called sibling preference.[/quote]

And the fact that families of color don’t want to be “the only”. That is why we turned down our pk3 spot. [/quote]

We are a minority’ and would take it any day if choices were a good school vs. being a minority.[/quote]

There are better options. I think the primary draw is the demographics. [/quote]

Nope, the primary draw is it’s a good school that has no neighborhood boundary limitation. I find it amusing how people justify a good school by racial lines.  Get real, I could care less the demographics of the school.[/quote]

Good for you. I know what it is like to be the only brown kid. Not going to do that to my kids.

Or at least not for SWS. Not worth it.

It’s good not great. Nothing special. [/quote]

And I know what it’s like to be the one minority in a class of 200 kids.  I’m not AA but a minority.  No issues and my parents didn’t make it an issue.  An AA family in our neighborhood we know listed the school very high with eyes open but they had a bad number.  So you might have had a bad experience but not everyone does or feels the same.[/quote]

Well good for you! I assure you, my parents tried hard to reduce racism but “not making it an issue” wasn’t possible for us. But thanks for your idiotic comment anyway!

I am not going to waste my time with a meh school with no diversity. You seem fine with it- it’s terrific for kids with special needs I’ll grant you that. [/quote]

Nope, my experiences and experiences of other minorities and AA, which may be different than what you experience, are not idiotic.  You just sound that way by saying your experience alone was valid and making remarks such as “idiotic”.   [/quote]
