[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here with a 1 year old.  I went to private school but plan to send DD to MCPS, though I recognize that can change.

I think a lot of people who don't have school-age children feel strongly that sending their kids to public school is the socially responsible thing to do.  Basically, they want to support public education and have their child be in a diverse environment.

But I've seen how some of my coworkers (none of us are super wealthy) ended up choosing private even though that wasn't what they were planning, it just ended up being what worked better for them.  So I definitely don't judge.  But I can see why people might - it's just a lack of real-world experience.[/quote]

Sure, I understand that. Of course, many MCPS schools are not particularly diverse, and public schools in general in this country are as segregated as they were before Brown v Board.

No one who sends their kids to a W school that has less than 5% FARMS kids can really say they value their kids being in a diverse environment. [/quote]

Of course!

It's just lip service. It's just not wanting to be politically incorrect. No one is going to say their against "diversity".

Great words of wisdom are "Watch what I do and not what I say".

Diversity is fine as long as it doesn't get in the way of the ten things I really care about that include a superior education for my kids, safety and home value.[/quote]
