[quote=Anonymous]My kids are white and in the minority at their diverse school. I think it’s 20-30% white. I’m fine with that, and I think it’s great that they’re in such a diverse setting. They seem to have racially diverse friend groups. For high school, DD had a choice of going to a school where she’d be an extreme minority. Its racial makeup included about 1-2% white kids. DD has anxiety, teenagers can be cruel, and I didn’t feel great sending her somewhere that she would stand out so dramatically. If she were more confident and didn’t have anxiety, we might’ve been more open to it, but it seemed too stressful for her at this point. I’m grateful that we live in a diverse enough area that we’re able to make choices like this instead of having it decided for us. [/quote]
