[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Are the people who keep saying that they don't want their child to be the "only one" really worried that will TRULY BE the "only one"? Face it, you wouldn't be comfortable if your child was one of two, or one of three ... of the only whatever you are. Stop staying that you don't want your child to be "the only" unless you're live in Ward 7 or 8, where that may actually be a possibility.[/quote]

Side issue, but my child is the "only" white child for the second year in a row. Before that, she was one of three or four in a class of thirty (different school dist, larger classes). I was more comfortable when she was one of three or four than I am now with it. It's not that her whiteness is an issue so much... as it makes every other issue she might have tinged somehow. She'd be just as different from some of her peers if they were all white (she has some SN), but the color thing makes it more pronounced.

I've always thought that this was something worth working to work with, but the last year really made me question that on many levels. [/quote]

"She has some SN"?  What does this mean?[/quote]
