The outstanding schools have little diversity. None of their resources need to go to bringing the low performers up to speed. Spend a day at a school in Potomac vs a school in Wheaton and you will see what parents are upset about. Everyone thinks they want diversity but have no idea what real diversity is and the impact it makes. The well to do latino or black child with 2 successful parents has completely different values than a child that has 2 parents that don't speak English, work low paying jobs, and/or don't see the value of a good education. You can't keep throwing valuable resources into fixing a situation that isn't fixable.[b] i am not saying to give up on these kids, [/b]but don't expect that by mixing them in with higher performers it is going to do any good. It will bring the high performers down and marginally help maybe some of the slightly more motivated kids. You have to segregate so that each child is getting the instruction and challenges that they need.[/quote]

You just did say it, in the sentence immediately preceding.[/quote]
