[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the worst part of being a POC in the Maury zone is having white women tell you the best middle and high school for your kids. I didn’t ask your opinion and I’m more than capable of choosing the appropriate school for my kids. Just because you decided to have your kid attend Eliot Hine and Eastern doesn’t mean that I need to make the same choice. [/quote]

Oh for sure. But another way to see this is that I think you deserve access to the same information that is shared between white moms! I don’t think you need to make that choice but I want you to have the same information I have … [/quote]

Why would you assume that white moms have information that a POC can't access? If this is a situation where the PTA or principal or someone is only sharing info with white moms, fix that with the PTA or the principal. Don't pass along info out of some sense of noblesse oblige.

And if it's not information but half-baked feelings or perceptions, don't assume that other parents want it. [/quote]
