[quote=Anonymous]I understand OP's concerns, especially for mixed-race/mixed-culture concerns.  You want them to be comfortable around both sides. I get it, I think.  But if all minorities just gravitated to schools that were already "diverse" I think you will get a very retrograde result.  I'd much rather be the pioneer minority in a mostly majority school and let them know that there are other types in the world.  And, well, here we are!  We obviously want our cultures to be understood by all.  Why should we shy away from majority white schools just because they are "not-diverse" according to some artificial standard.  My kids are Indian and in a W ES.  On a peer-to-peer level, they have absolutely no problems socializing.  And on an administrative level, there is a lot of recognition of diversity (e.g., art, social studies, special assemblies, music).  I grew up in the South, and in comparison MCPS is sooo much more inclusive of all types in whatever demographic school.  OP, you are lucky to be moving to this county.  My kids may not *look* like the rest of the kids in the school, but almost all the kids in ES are super sweet, polite, inclusive and kind.  And, so are the parents.  [/quote]
