[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yawn I'm pretty much done here.  In real life deciding between a school with higher test scores and by extension higher SES and by extension larger amounts of whites and asians vs one with lower test scores and by extension lower SES and by extension larger amounts of African Americans and Hispanics the choice is obvious.[/quote]

Isn't diversity worth the consideration even though the test score might be a little lower? [/quote]

I think you hit the nail on the head.  Some of us see value in diversity and some of us don't.  Personally I haven't seen any value in diversity for higher SES kids.  The lower SES kids obviously benefit from having higher SES kids in the class room.  Higher SES kids are ignored/not challenged when they are in more diverse classrooms.  This can be fixed if you have tracking but then you need to ensure that the teacher can actually do tracking and there is enough of a cohort to proceed at an advanced level.

Bottom line again liberals often go on and on about diversity without showing evidence that it benefits higher SES folks.  Personally I think there is no benefit especially from an academic perspective[/quote]

oh and forgot to add many liberals spout the accolades of diversity but when it comes to their own kids they go private and/or stay in higher SES districts and have nothing to do with lower income SES fleeing if areas even remotely begin to add lower SES diversity.  The hypocrisy is typical.  Classic do as I say not as I do.[/quote]

You understand that there are liberals with lower SES right?  [/quote]

of course, this is DCUM which schews upper SES and liberal and is full of all sorts of hypocrisy[/quote]
