[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drives me crazy that privates only want perfect kids![/quote]

They just don’t have the resources to deal with learning and behavioral issues.[/quote]

Some don’t.  Some could but choose not to, regardless of all the DEI rhetoric on their web pages.[/quote]

That isn’t what I think of when I hear DEI.  I think of racial, ethnic and gender diversity, not behavioral and learning issues.[/quote]

Learning differences are also diversity, are they not? Why the focus on what people [i]look [/i]like? If the school can handle a child whose home language is not English, surely they can handle a child who needs quiet test-taking time. They just choose not to. And no, I'm not the bitter mother of a LD child. Just can see through the bs.[/quote]

Public schools handle kids who can't speak english. I doubt you see many ELL students at Sidwell (unless you consider an diplomat's kid who speaks the queen's english an ELL student). DEI at privates is strictly controlled, they're happy to take kids of all color and sexual orientation, but their commitment to diversity ends there  [/quote]
