[quote=Anonymous]For me it's not about worrying that my kid will be the 'only' anything - I have one DC in a DCPS school and DC is the minority in that class - but it IS about the quality and ethos of the school.  If the school works, if it feels like a school and not a prison, if there are great teachers, good facilities, arts and academics - I'm happy to send my kids there.  Those kinds of schools should exist all over DC what ever the racial make up of the class.  One thing I've noticed is that some folks in some commuities - black, latino, asian have sometimes different ideas about what makes a school 'good' and I may not want those same things. Those differences sometimes make it difficult to choose your neighborhood school, not because it's not good or because it's not diverse  but because the teaching style, philosophy and feel of the school (how strict teachers are etc) might not fit what you want for your kid.  
It's one of the reasons we chose Ellington over Banneker for our child.  It had the right fit and feel for us.[/quote]
