[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here with no dog in this fight, but my DD's private school has demographics that are much more diverse than at our public school, and this was important to us. I would bet the same is true for the earlier PP who sends her kids to private school but lives in the Jamestown neighborhood. No one is suggesting it's not a great school, but it does have to take all comers who live within its bounds. Our local public is also good but enormous.[/quote] Why would diversity be important? Generally speaking, it's highly overrated, unless you can get socio-economic harmony. That's hard to do, of course. There's nothing inherently virtuous about a "diverse" school. On the contrary, it seems to cause exponential problems.[/quote]
