[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am new to dc and I noticed the stark difference between the two types of segregation. Private schools are happy if they are racially diverse, but not so happy to be diverse in terms of socioeconomic groups. If find this attitude a bit schizophrenic. Do you think this is ok? [/quote] Having a few tokens isn’t "racially diverse”. The city is far more diverse than the private schools within. Most of the DC privates we talk about of DCUM try to address the socioeconomic diversity as well, which is why financial aid is dispersed to some, but private schools cost money and the bills need to be paid. There is only so much that can be done. Voice any concerns you may have to the schools you are in communication with. They will listen.[/quote]
