[quote=Anonymous]To 21:17 - I appreciate your honesty. I've heard similar comments from other minority folks as well. Specifically: when we lived in SS in a Title 1 school district and new neighbors moved in (they were AA; military family from out of state), they asked about the neighborhood school, met with the principal, etc. The mom told me that they couldn't send their kids there because there were too many poor, minority families (I'm white, and was caught off guard by her comment). She said they preferred to send their kids to schools with more affluent families (and for the record, these weren't wealthy people...navy nurses).[/quote]
