[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really bothers me that people feel sending their kids to school with minorities is a “social experiment.” This all sounds like the same arguments from school integration. These are people we are talking about. They might be poor but they’re still people who are trying to get their kids through school too.[/quote] +1. Also, we know there are even benefits for affluent kids when they attend more diverse schools, vs. homogeneous school environments, in terms of empathy, relating to people who are different from themselves, and preparing for a diverse workplace/world. Also, look at the MD school threads, and the problems at some of the W schools that have very low diversity--racist incidents, vaping-related hospitalizations, suicide clusters related to intense academic pressure, etc. Some of us would rather provide our kids with adequate enrichment and supports in a more diverse school.[/quote]
