[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a diverse school and saw the benefits of it when I was a minority in my freshman dorm. It didn't phase me whereas I think it was unsettling at first to some of my classmates.

My kids are in a very similar school that I went to (we stayed in the same area), and we are pulling them out to go to private school. My youngest in particular just can't handle the behavioral issues and disruptions. He isn't learning because the teacher has to spend her time being a parent to these children who don't have adequate support.

If lower SES kids aren't taught proper behavior at home, what makes you think they can have self-control and act appropriately in a learning environment for hours of the day? The behavior I have witnessed first hand is appalling.

While I am glad these kids get bussed to my neighborhood school so that they aren't languishing in a "ghetto school", I am disappointed that my children aren't thriving in their neighborhood school because of the distractions. I don't have an answer for the larger problem, but my kids can't continue in this environment and learn anything.[/quote]
