[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.  So nice to see this thread still going.  To some of the pp's inquiries about private schools - I think there might be some area private schools that have decent size minority populations and offer a good academic experience and peer group.  The Catholic high schools especially come to mind - St. John's, DeMatha, Good Counsel.  I just wish there was an equivalent experience in the public schools.  Seems like in the public schools, to get a more "elite" academic experience, you eliminate much of the racial diversity our kids need to have a healthy social experience.[/quote].

My AA 8th DD journals everything, and today I came across one her writings today.  She's talking about a boy in her class (all W class)  that she has liked since the beginning of the year, and they have become good friends.  Well he likes her W class sister a lot and has express this to my DD.  Since she truly cares for these two, she talks about her struggles of coping with it. This is just one situation that is oh so familiar, and more like this will continue all the way to 12th, if she were to remain there.  All along she'll be questioning herself as if she isn't good enough.  This year can't end soon enough.........................!!![/quote]
