[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm, What do CMI and SWS have in common that may make both schools somewhat less attractive to some AA families? [/quote] Perhaps educational approaches that are perceived as being fluffier than what some AAs families may want, and/or reputations that have grown due to word-of-mouth among mostly white DC residents? I don't know if either explanation is accurate, though.[/quote] Quite possibly. Not everyone is completely comfortable with what SWS puts out there. As we've seen though, it's easier, or at the very least more interesting and entertaining, to blame the school for racist policies or not trying hard enough to recruit AA families. To be clear, we are talking about a school where a full third of the student don't classify themselves as Caucasian. Not 10%, not 15%, but 32% of the school wouldn't classify themselves as white. That's a giant problem with diversity.[/quote]
