[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Usually, people here say they're seeking diversity. Is that not something you value? [/quote] Not the OP, but . . . my kid was also the only white kid in his class (as far as I could tell, in the whole school) for a while. I do value diversity, but I felt like since his social interactions with family and parents' friends are mostly with white people, being in a majority black school would actually increase his exposure to racial diversity, not diminish it. Having so many classmates who are black helped to diversify our social lives, but not to the point where I felt like our son lacked for white role models, peers, etc. Yes, it would be more ideal if both our social circles and our school were integrated before, but that isn't how things were. My son was never excluded and had many friends at that school. So much so that sometimes I wondered if people were being extra nice to him because he was the only white kid. [/quote]
