[quote=Anonymous]This relying on skin color to figure out SES seems imprecise to me. We are at a Ward 4 school that is majority minority but mostly middle class (but also some high SES and some FARMS). There are other things that suggest SES, such as clothing (suits vs. sweatpants at BTSN) and behaviors (frantically returning work emails vs. yelling at one's kids). Not that these things are 100% accurate--we live close to the school so will often change out of work clothes before walking to evening school events. But there are definitely ways to figure these things out without solely relying on skin color as a signal for SES.[/quote]
