[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You also have to remember that this school started as a segregated "whites only" branch of Peabody, which was just far too black for the founding families -- that's what I find so gross. So if you don't value early literacy and want to live in a racially diverse city but send your child to a free public school where she encounters almost no African Americans, then it's the perfect place for you.[/quote] Um, no. My oldest child was in the program in the early years--his class of 20 children was half Caucasion, half African American. and that was several years after it was started. 3 years later my daughter's class was 12 Caucasion, 10 African American (they added two kids per class to raise additional funding). It might look mostly white now, but it most definitely did not start that way. Not sure who you are or where you got your information, but doesn't sound like you were actuall a part of the school or the community at the time. [/quote]
