[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I cannot stop reading OP's post and thinking they are listing fewer black/Hispanic children is a great reason to move. [/quote]

No you are reading right.  However, usually race becomes a shorthand for disruptiveness.

People say that a school with a lot of students lagging behind academically is a problem, but in my experience, it does not create a problem in the school if the school is properly differentiating  in curriculum and instruction.  The biggest problem in indiscipline and disruptiveness in the classroom that can scuttle any learning.

Disruptive students are from all races (though Asians have the lowest incidents of indiscipline or disruptiveness)  however usually there are higher percentage of Black and Hispanic kids who misbehave. This has created a stereotype of all blacks and hispanics students being disruptive.

I am the OP. I have not witnessed disruptive black and Hispanic kids at our old school. Most of the disciplinary problems were with the white kids.[/quote]
