[quote=Anonymous]12:17 has got to be one of the most pointless and stupid posts on this thread, and that's saying a lot, because the bar on this thread is pretty low.

The limited topic of this thread is:  is there diversity in private schools?  Go back and read the header until this is clear to you.

Nobody on this thread has said that private schools are "sooo awful" like you say in para 3.  Nobody "hates" private school kids like you say in your last para.  My kids have attended private schools, and other posters say their kids have attended private schools -- we certainly don't hate our own kids!  How the hell are you extrapolating these inferences from this discussion?

I think you completely missed the point of the poster you responded to (not me).  In fact, I think you've missed the point of most of this thread.

We are saying private schools are good for many things, like small size -- BUT they don't have true diversity.  Then the talk has gone on to if and how you can expose your private school kids to diversity.

In your real-life relationships, do you usually ignore what people are saying, and accuse them of things they never said?  Do you react this emotionally in all your relationships?

To respond to the points you make.  Do your kids actually play with the low-SES kids after they leave the sandbox?  Because 2-3-4 year olds are too young to get this.  Are your kids old enough to play with the kids on the basketball courts you mention, and do they play with them?  Frankly, mentioning your kids donate to the Washington Jesuit Academy sounds like "let them eat bread" if your kids never visit the place. Throwing out a mention of Gonzaga's soup kitchen is stupid if your kids don't go to Gonzaga.
