[quote=Anonymous]We are moving into the area w/ 4 children (1 white, 1 asian, and 2 black). We are purposefully picking schools where a significant portion of black students come from higher SES families (which is significantly correlated to academic outcomes). It has been our experience that the expectations (and related treatment) that teachers/aides/guidance counselors have of our two youngest children depend on their perception of the "average" black child in the school. That's why it matters to us. [/quote]
