[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will be moving out of state to Bethesda for work near NIH. Have two high school age children. A future coworker  expressed some concern that my children may feel like they don't fit in with their classmates/neighborhood . Should I be concerned as well? [/quote]

Dear OP,

I beg of you not to send that child not only to Whitman but to any of the W’s. They are going to be mistreated at those schools. Not only are these schools always involve with racial scandals but look at the Instagram @blackatwhitman and read about black students experiences. I made a mistake sending my son to Churchill because I believed that the education was better. However, it took a huge toll on his mental health especially during that N word pass thing. My 14 yr old now attends Einstein and they’re happy, supported, and feel safe.[/quote]

+1 As a POC who grew up going to a homogeneous wealthy school, I learned my hard lesson that it’s not only about test scores. So diversity was the top thing I looked for in schools for the kids. We are very happy with the nice students at our school, with no ignorant or racist incidents, unlike where I went and what I see in the Ws. The microaggression, the neurotic comparing test scores. I’d rather my kids be happy and supplement if needed.[/quote]
