[quote=Anonymous]What "punkass" poster was inarticulately getting at is that privates will only "scoop up" students if there is something substantial in it for them.  Sure, they'd likely be very interested in having the extraordinary students, for example a 4th grade musical prodigy with a huge repertoire of classical works and who composes her own pieces or a 5th grader who can do calculus - children who are going places, whom those privates would be able to tout as fantastic alumni.  They will seek them out and will seek to look after their well being, and will look to retain them.

But for anyone short of that, the best one could hope for is that they are just getting a handful of students to check a box and tout some cheapo feel-good measure of diversity and inclusion - but in that latter case, they are probably not as interested in retention or the student's actual well-being, as they could just get more where they came from when the "diversity" students wash out - that second category is of far less "substantial" benefit to them.[/quote]
