[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess 14:45 and I hang around with very different people. For me, diversity is an important factor in choosing (and feeling comfortable with) a school and most people I speak to about school choice feel the same way. I grew up going to school as one of the very few people of my race/ethnicity and I do not want that experience for my family now.[/quote] That certainly explains your unusual emphasis on it. I don't think when people evaluate where to live they consciously search for diversity in schools. It's just a peculiar way of thinking. But I can see how your experience there might make you value it more. Most people are focused on the quality of the school, not the color mix of its students. The exception is most people try to avoid schools with a lot of low SES (i.e. FARMS) because that signals there are probably problems with education quality and allocation of resources. [/quote]
