[quote=Anonymous]Should not (never) be a question of race, but whether the school's educational/child development approach is one that is right for you and especially your child. KIPP is more structured and has amazing results sending scores of low-income kids to college. Capital City, which I know less about, has an expeditionary learning approach, which is guided by the students' interests and focuses on deep, rather than rote, learning. Personally, I think there is a place for both approaches and some kids do better with one or the other. I'm Asian, my kids are half-white, and go to a majority black and Hispanic schools because they are terrific schools, with terrific teachers and language immersion, which was something we were looking for. KIPP is a terrific school -- I have a friend who went to Yale who's a principal at one down south. The things her kids have accomplished would amaze most cynics. Go and check out the schools for yourself, and most importantly, speak with the teachers and observe![/quote]
