[quote=Anonymous]My husband and other friends have pondered this as well. We've heard people claim they want the best academic environment for their child, but put them at Wilson. Our children our only in elementary school, but when we think of high schools, Wilson isn't even on our list! I think the neighborhood has something to do with it, but one thing my husband has pointed out is that white people in this country will rarely put themselves in a situation where they are the minority-gentrification doesn't count, but black people have and continue to do so. Having grown up in an evinronment where many white parents pulled their kids out of the schools when we showed up (during the mid 70's and 80's) I've gotta say this smells like a similar thing. If you don't want your child to be the 'only one' get a few friends together and send your kids. Trust me, it will be OK. We don't bite and our color won't rub off (tongue in cheek).[/quote]
