[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the point diversity posters are missing is that [b]schools with better test scores etc have a culture of success[/b], now this is obviously a result of the educational and economic standing of the parents but the culture does exist. When your child is in a similar culture, they are expected, motivated to do well, the problem with lower performing schools is not that they don't have bright kids (of course they have bright kids), the problem is the overall culture is not the one which values academics and success as much.

Culture is a difficult thing to change, it takes a similar mindset to create the dominant culture , the dominant culture at lower performing schools will not be of high academic achievement till the similarity of academic success is the majority. I am not White and I think it's not right to bash White posters in guise of diversity. I am SE Asian and yes I look for a certain percentage of my own kind so that my kids can feel comfortable at school, but really all parents are simply doing their best for their kids, nothing more, nothing less. FWIW, I do choose a school based on performance because I am looking for the right culture, I am not picking high performance schools because I am a racist etc.[/quote]

I'm wondering how Whitman High School can have a culture of success. Perhaps you meant that the parents of the students who attend Whitman High School are successful?

Nobody is bashing white posters, let alone in the guise of diversity.[/quote]
