[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't believe I'm responding to this, but yes, my Jewish kid was the only "white" kid in the class. The problem we ran into was not the other kids, who were always nice to ours, but the very kind teacher thinking she was the life line for all of the other kids , and our kid with 2 college educated parents didn't need much attention or teaching. I don't mean my precious snowflake didn't get advanced math, I mean she needed basic reading.[/quote] Indeed, this is the problem. Even if the teachers are excellent where do you think the attention will go in a majority poor school. It's not race, it's SES. Just ask any teacher how difficult it is to teach in a majority low income school. I think diverse schools are good, but diverse should reflect demographics. A 25% low income school could be fairly called diverse and is probably more beneficial to everyone's all around education. [/quote]
