[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't speak for everyone, but here is my view: My primary objective is my children; I will do whatever I can to make sure they get a good education. That means I want them at a well-run school that's not overcrowded. That means I want them with capable teachers who are focused on teaching all the students, and not just trying to drag the most unprepared students up to the bare minimum of "proficient." That means I want my children surrounded by other kids who want to learn and are not being disruptive. That means I want them in a reasonably safe neighborhood, preferably close to home. Those are my basic criteria; everything else is icing on the cake for me. I would be even more happy if my children were in a school with loads of racial and class diversity - even a school where my child is a distinct racial and class minority - but only if my basic criteria are met.

That's what I want in a school for my children. I suspect most parents - regardless of race or class - want something similar.  If you think any of that makes me racist or classist, then you need to explain how.

that's fine. but don't come posting on here about how your white kid can't possibly mix with the "project kids" at Jefferson because they bring the SES average down. Just go self-segregate and accept that you don't believe in diversity. [/quote]
