[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP mom who is zoned for Wakefield and is black and I actutally think that was my ah-ha moment when I was house hunting. I don't think having my kids at Yorktown would do them any more justice than having them in Wakefield and putting the money I'd spend living in North Arlington into enrichment. It's a tricky thing but when you parse it down, the issue you see is that poverty and ESL needs drives a lot of the performance issues. I think a lot of parents fear their kids will be corrupted by poor minority kids (especially teens). I don't see that issue as much as the isolation problems my kids might experience. We have all sorts of friends and our family ranges from dirt poor to rich as hell. So, our kids will likely see it all. That's why I don't worry about Wakefield.[/quote]
