[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AA CM parent again. I will actually raise the website issue with the principal.

I admit that I personally really liked that the website had children of various ethnicities - that may be because I probably value the idea of a school that values diversity more broadly and the international perspective, than the specific racial demographics in DC.  But I can also see how another parent might interpret things differently. I know that the website doesn't currently use pictures of CM students - those are the pics from the original website that was up before the school opened. I assume they had to pay to use each of the pics (thus why there are only a handful) and tried to select a really diverse group (kinda reminds me of Benetton ad). It might be time to consider changing that.

I know this might be hard to do, but I'm wondering if you can give examples of the types of things a school does that makes you feel welcome or unwelcome and that you think are tied to race/ethnicity.  I'm not necessarily thinking about just CM, but at all the schools. No need to name schools b/c I don't want this to turn into an attack on various schools. Just trying to get more details to pass along so folks can  critically think about these concerns.[/quote]

Valuing diversity means the website is reflective of the student body. This website is not.I hope they listen and change. [/quote]
