Actually I pay 19k a year so that my 2nd grade white DS has diversity, both race and socioeconomicly.   Over 30% of his school is on financial, half of those on full.  There are students from housing projects and kids that live in $4mil homes in his class.  Outside of school the kids wear the same clothing as peers, plenty of the girls wear make up.  The students at his school enjoy learning are, are proud of the work they do.   Kids are taught and given work based on there skill level,  not the average level of class or a quota.  Self respect, self worth, and pride are incorporated into learning.  The kids police each other and are taught how to work out disagreements in calm and productive ways.  In public you can definitely see a behavior and knowledge of social norms difference between his fellow students at peers of similar age that are taught in the same enviroment.
