[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand where these posters are coming from, but there are actually a lot of liberal, white parents who put their money where their mouth is and send their kids to diverse public schools. We're not all hypocrites.[/quote]
Well, it depends what you mean by "diverse." I myself grew up in what you might call a diverse neighborhood. Within a few houses on either side, we had a diplomatic family, a black family, an Asian family, a South American family, and two white families. Other than the diplomatic family, all are still there. The difference was that they came from comfortable families with educated parents, and all spoke English fluently. Classes were taught at a good level.

That's entirely different from "diversity" when it means kids from non-English families, with parents who have not completed high school. It brings down the quality of education. If you have elected to send your kids to a school where half don't speak English and three-quarters are on FARMS, congratulations for living by political ideology. Perhaps you have the money for private tutoring to prep your kids for the SAT to compensate for their inferior classroom instruction, but again, many middle class parents do not.[/quote]
