[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine the world where I wouldn't send my child to the best school which is an option.  [b]Such different philosophies...[/b][/quote]

It really is... [/quote]

So by the calculations of many on this thread, for instance, people should not send their kids to Oyster because it is only 28% white and has middling test scores? I know Yale and Columbia grads who went to Oyster. Like OP (probably) they grew up in upper-middle class households. I am sure that their experiences being in a multicultural environment factored into their ability to get into those schools, as opposed to going to the "best school" which would probably be lily white and produce less well-rounded or empathetic kids. So I agree, "best school" depends on what you are looking for. Oyster was not the "best school" for a sibling of these two who had a learning disability. There are just too many factors at play to generalize about what is the "best school" for OP's kid.[/quote]

Oyster is in fact a great example why OP (and this thread) is full of sh*t.

Hispanic-majority, and yet one of the best schools in the city, with plenty of whites (both Hispanic and anglos) trying to get in.

What's the problem...except in OP's racist imagination.[/quote]
