[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went through this debate.

Kind of ironically it was the spouse that went to a "snobby" high school that wanted to consider some place more diverse and the spouse that went to a "bad" school that wanted somewhere that fed into one of the snobby schools.

The one that insisted on living in an area with a school with a good reputation brought up this article about Kennedy in Montgomery County:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1999/12/11/kennedys-melting-pot-reaches-boiling-point/1bfcfbf4-0668-4875-947f-518e3620b809/?utm_term=.dd820cd207c5

Which if I recall correctly, talks about how Kennedy shifted over to a minority majority population, about how some people who wanted to stay for the diversity but then felt that the education was lacking, etc.  And I might have it confused with something else (it's been a while since I read it) but think there were some issues about segregation of students in a special program and also the racial lines when one particular group tried to take charge of some things and the other group didn't want to follow.  [b]So I think is an example about how diversity didn't work too well.[/b]  (just summing up the article and am not necessarily saying that it's my point of view)[/quote]

that's a valuable lesson, too. reality beats bubbles any time.[/quote]
