[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am new to dc and I noticed the stark difference between the two types of segregation. Private schools are happy if they are racially diverse, but not so happy to be diverse in terms of socioeconomic  groups. If find this attitude a bit schizophrenic. [b]Do you think this is ok? [/quote][/b]

I don’t try to dictate how other people spend their money. So yeah, I think it is fine. They are private schools.

Now let’s talk about public schools, where as a taxpayer, I should have a say. Why aren’t you complaining about the rich vs the poor public schools? Look at any of the DC or close in suburbs. Let’s take Arlington. There is a stark difference between the wealthiest and poorest schools.[/quote]

Arlington literally has a dividing line. [/quote]

Amongst which kids are segregated.  Plus look at all the advanced programs dominated my the wealthier kids - why aren’t you focused on changing that![/quote]

Because this is the privates forum. But nice attempt at deflection to avoid self-reflection. [/quote]

Why post here then if people are really worried about SES segregation?!

Sounds like you need some self reflection. . . And maybe a better education.[/quote]

Why try to divert the conversation away from the topic - private schools?  [/quote]
