You seem to be assigning virtue to diversity. Why? Is there something wrong with an all-white public elementary school? Not understanding you.[/quote]

I really cannot wrap my brain around THIS statement.  You do understand we live in the twenty-first century, right?[/quote]

Try to explain. You're not making any sense. You seem to suggest that a diverse school is preferable or superior to a homogenous one... So, defend that.

In my experience, diversity rarely ends well and the kids self-segregate by HS anyway. And, generally, speaking, people keep this self segregation going into adulthood.[/quote]

Appalling to read something like this in this day and age.  In an area that is well on its way to majority minority (as is the country as a whole), I personally find such uber-homogeneity problematic for equipping kids to cope in a diverse society.  We happen to live in such a district in Arlington but DC goes to one of the countywide schools.  No, diversity doesn't solve everything and doesn't make a school superior on its own but kids do learn to see the world differently and navigate it.[/quote]

See, that's just your opinion. You value diversity in your school. But that doesn't in any way, shape or form make it a better option. I focus on a school's performance and am colorblind about it. If you're counting races, that's wrong.
