[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For kindergarten, I sent my child to a title 1 school that was rated a 4 and in [b]minority majority. She was the only white child in her class [/b]and was constantly excluded and bullied. I ended up sending her to private school in first grade and [b]it was a much better fit[/b].[/quote]

Is there anything this phrase can't cover? For example, here "a much better fit" means [b]"more white children in the class"[/b].[/quote]

Actually no, she was still in a small class of 16 and [b]half of the class were African American and Hispanic[/b]. Her school is very diverse. By much better fit, I mean she made friends and wasn't bullied.[/quote]

If race wasn't at the forefront of your mind, why did you mention it in your original post? It sounds like PP was right on the nose.[/quote]

Because she was bullied by minorities for being different. :roll: [/quote]

You don't think it is possible that a child who is the only white kid in a class is in danger of bullying? I am familiar with a similar situation involving a co-worker's child. The child literally didn't fit in and the other children did what children often do when another child's looks or manner make them stand out.

Nobody wants to be the one kid who is different. A mix of children from different backgrounds is best for this reason. When the numbers are very screwed all in one demographic, whoever seems unusual is more likely to have problems.
