[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What, exactly, are people afraid of in exposing their kids to lower income peers? Exposure to another culture, black or Hispanic? We are talking about elementary school children here. Happily our children are growing up in a more color blind world. Try speaking to someone from a different SES, culture, neighborhood and learn something new. [/quote] I think you are drawing the wrong conclusions from the questions. I'm the original poster, and we are moving back to the US this month from Latin America. So no, no afraid of exposing my kids to low income kids or another culture--they are well acquainted with both. But since we aren't currently based in DC, we are making decisions in something of a vacuum. I'm concerned about the quality of the bilingual education, and in maintaining their Spanish, as my job will likely take us back south of the border at some point.[/quote]
