[quote=Anonymous]OP here - yes, this is what I want for my twins, see below from PP. I do not need diversity by all means just for the sake of diversity, we encounter plenty of that anyway. I want a good school, good teachers, serious/ambitious kids, committed parents, good role models, kids and families with whom we can have a relationship after school as well, in our neighborhood. This is not about race, but about quality. I don't care what your color, religion or background is.  Also, I would not want to send them to a 99% hispanic school, since that is not our culture and language, so what's the point. I just want the best for them, according to what my value system is and what I believe is best for them and for us as a family. I want the best that this country has to offer for my kids - make my tax dollars work!

NP here and so what?  Sadly, the demographics tend to show the school's ability.  Are you saying we should all want to go to Wheaton Regional instead of Whitman because it is more diverse even though the drop out rate is higher, the test scores are lower and there are more police calls/arrests there?  If we prefer Whitman, we are racist?

I want my kids to go to the best school with kids that want to be there and learn.  That get good grades and test scores.  Families that take it seriously.  I would send my kid to a 99% hispanic school if it was the highest rated, but guess what?  There aren't any.  [/quote][/quote]
