Or even better, some free lunch kids at a public school that your children never actually see or associate with because they're all "normal track" and your tiger cubs are all protected from them in honors and AP track courses.

Because it's only diversity when the brown and black kids are poor?

Here are the demographics of my kid's high school: 18% Asian, 28% black/African-American, 28% Hispanic, 22% white, 27% currently qualify for FARMS, 51% currently qualify or in the past have qualified for FARMS. And perhaps you will be surprised to hear that there are FARMS kids in honors and AP classes, but you shouldn't be. Do I count as a member of the "liberal elite"?

Diversity vs. quality of education is a false choice. In this part of the country, these days, if you're not experiencing diversity in school, you're not getting a good quality of education. None of us are doing our kids any favors by only sending them to school with other kids like them.

Where are you in the DC area that almost 90% of the white kids qualify for FARMS?

It was more diverse racially and SES wise. It had the same test scores as the higher SES schools in our county. Why? It has motivated parents. Parents had to provide their own transportation to school except for students zoned for a few schools nearby the magnet school. Those students were bused from those close by schools to the magnet. If parents are willing to drive their kids all over the county to get to school, there is a lot more motivation there than at a magnet school where nobody has to provide transportation. I work in a Title One school and we have great teachers here but the average student is much lower in terms of reading level than the average elsewhere. So the only way my kid would come to my school is if he was low average. That is who gets most of our time here because there are so many students in that category.

my brother's child goes to a school where 60% of parents work at google. yes, the school is very "high performing". is that the kind of school that you would send your kids to?

Guaranteed it is incredibly ethnically diverse.

This is false. Whites leave diverse schools not for educational reasons but because whites don't want to walk in the shoes of other minorities.

This is proven by what happens when asians get too high of a concentration in schools - white families leave

White flight happened in my children's old school because the white families feared competition from Asian students. Actually, it was a blessing because my children had the best of two worlds. A diverse school that was an academic powerhouse. I don't mind diversity at my children's current school because there are many African and Asian immigrant families who value education. We don't need white students to make our school great. The students at my children's school can run circles around white students. White Americans don't want to buck up and play ball with us because academically speaking we will demolish them in every category. White Americans have done a number on African Americans and Latinos in regards to racist educational practices. Those practices don't work on Asian and African immigrant families. They can leave our schools because we don't care. We prefer that they leave because their children are slowing our children down. Unlike African Americans and Latinos we don't give a damn rather you like us or not. Nor will we beg to have a seat at your table. Asians can and we have made our own tables by becoming the most wealthy and educated individuals in this country. White people like to be dominant. It infuriates them to know that minority children are outperforming their children. I wish their focus was more on equality, but white people's egos are too fragile and insecure. They don't want their children being educated in an environment with lions. So, the leave and go to schools where they can feel superior. It's the nature of the beast. Children who are not academic alphas will be devoured in a predominately Asian school. Academic alphas of all races don't complain they do. Betas run away when they realize they can no longer challenge the alphas.

Some minorities don't need nor do we want white people to help diversify our schools. We already got that covered. Whites don't want equality. They want domination. If they want to flee to low performing schools, then good riddance!
