[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think that it is awesome that you are so invested in your child's school experience. The reason that I think this is that I was a white student in a majority African American school when I was younger and my parents were nowhere near as interested in my school experience than you are. While the experience was very eye opening and has helped me become who I am today, it would have been easier if my parents understood that there are struggles when one is a minority anywhere, especially when you are one of few white kids in your class.[/quote]

Being a minority in a high ses white school is much different. Those children are taught to be inclusive and cordial to all regardless of color. When you are the minority in a lower ses minority majority those kids tend to exclude others and are not behaved. Furthermore society especially their society promotes the idea that reverse racism doesn't exist and is acceptable[/quote]

You cannot be serious, being a minority in a majority white school can be very isolating.  [/quote]

+1  I am reading this thread, like this was my life in reverse.  And now the beginning life of my son who is only 3, but the only AA in his daycare.  Tend to exclude others and are not behaved...as if this does not happen in a majority white school?!  [/quote]
