[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there are already Black people going there, who is the gem hidden from, exactly? The whole logic is that it only matters when white people know about it.[/quote] Ding ding ding ding. I also echo another PP who said that parents who do enter schools described as "hidden gems" stop, look, and listen to what is happening inside the school before trying to change it from the get go. There is a reason the school is a gem, and kids are already benefitting. I'm reminded of the Nice White Parents podcast story about the fundraiser for the French program where one well-meaning but clueless white attendee lectured the Puerto Rican PTA mom (who is bilingual) about the benefits to the students to introducing immersion learning based on her splitting time on the UES/France.[/quote]
