[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm no SWS apologist, and there plenty of fair questions that can be raised at the school.  Questions OP could actually ask in person though, it isn't "difficult to raise these kinds of issues" in any way at that school.  Be an adult and knock on Burst's door if you have legitimate concerns. [/quote]

Right, it would be very easy. "Say, Mr. Burst, I've heard from black families that they feel as though they are treated differently at this school. Is that true?" I'm sure you'd get a lot of careful, reflective, and objective analysis.

The point isn't what the principal would say his views are. It's pretty easy to imagine what he would say with a high degree of confidence. The point is what are the actual experiences of families at the school. That is the question. The references to lack of diversity are meant as EVIDENCE that something might be amiss in the school's mindset.[/quote]

Are there any families of color out there that could weigh in on this? Are you having a bad time at SWS because of the color of your skin? More importantly, does your kid report that he/she feels out of place because there are so many white kids in class? [/quote]
