[quote=Anonymous]I think there can be real advantages to being in a school with a very large concentration of your child's race. At most of the MCPS schools the % is so low that your child ends up being "the only" which is really hard and your identity and having to explain things like why your eyes or lunch look funny to the other kids. One thing I have liked is that when you go to schools where Asians make up like 5-10% there are so many stereotypes that hurt your child's development. Leadership positions and awards are given to white and Black students while Asians may only be praised for their math ability. At a school like Lakewood and Stone Mill Asians can be good or bad at math, good or bad at sports, and everything in between. I like seeing that kind of diversity and I think it is good for my child to see that too.[/quote]
