[quote=Anonymous]It is intersting that to many people, diversity = number of AA kids.  When people talk about race in this counrty, they always see it as Black and White. In fact, it is that type of narrow minded thinking that lost the GOP the past election.  The last census showed that there are more Hispanics in the US than Blacks.  So if you ever hear me talk about racial diversity, I am talking Black, White, Asian and Hispanic. That being said, I am AA and the more important diversity in my book is SES and that cuts across all races.

Back to the orginal question.  3 of my 4 kids attended public through middle school and private high schools. I would say it was worth it generally.  At the schools they attended, most of the kids were college motivated regardless of SES.  They had to compete academically and that helped my kids focus.  Also, they were student athletes and the privates had strong programs in those sports.  Finacially it evened out because 2 of the 3 received academic scholarships to college and the third got an athletic scholarship.  The 4th is still in HS - a MOCO public that he chose becuase of its technology curriculum. [/quote]
