[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]9:00 -- I find it hard to keep a straight face when being lectured on establishing notions of privilege by a parent of private school kid ($30K+? per year school). If that is an important value to you there are many many schools in this city which would teach lessons on privilege in a much more experiential way and where your energy (and $30+K a year) would go a long way helping provide opportunities for others.[/quote] An economically and racially diverse school that does not directly/explicitly address issues of privilege may teach very different lessons than you want your kids to learn. I've certainly watched kids come away from public school experiences thinking that more affluent families are more affluent because they are smarter and more hard-working than poor families. Or that academic excellence is a "white" value. [/quote]
