[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a child of color at Brent, it scares me to hear that people are glad it isn't as diverse. How is that attitude going to impact my child?[/quote] Again, the use of "diverse" was clearly ironic. Given that a few years ago, "diversity" meant 100% AA, it *is* a good thing it "isn't as diverse" (What? 70% AA?) And it will impact your child in pretty much uniformly positive ways.[/quote] The lower grades are almost 90% white which is not diverse so lets call a spade a spade, no 100% AA, out of bounds or low SES is not diverse, but neither is 90% white, high SES. My kids actually have benefitted from the work that the parents (gasp) in the more racially and SES diverse upper grades did to get Brent to where it is now. The same parents who consistently still volunteer. [/quote]
