[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My white kid spent 3 years in a 65% Hispanic elementary school.
He started wishing he had dark hair.
Invited to only 2 birthday parties in all these years. 
Bad admin at school happy to discipline a white kid, which I didn’t realize for the longest time. 
Street smart kids setting up naive middle class kids to be punished by riling them up. Stolen food at lunch. 
Finally switched school for 3rd grade and it was night and day. [/quote]

I work in an ES with 85% Hispanic population. The handful of white kids don’t get in trouble, not because they’re white but because they just don’t cause trouble. They’re happy and not bullied. They have friends. Just because your kid was bullied at his school doesn’t mean all schools with a minority of white kids is automatically dangerous. [/quote]

He wasn’t bullied. He got in trouble with admin for infractions that weren’t even on anyone’s radar at a more middle class school. Their discipline was just punitive, especially towards kids like him, it felt like. Maybe it was that specific school. 
But there are other bad things too. [/quote]

That's racist admin.  We had that too where my child was targeted in ES.[/quote]
