Well, I'm certainly not talkinga about TAG. I've tried to ask this question before, and I really want honest answers. I guess most UB posters aren't in this situation, but it looked like this one was: I'm still asking the same question: anybody out there ever sent your child to a school where 1)your child is going to enter school having learned more than the other kids because you have a signifcantly higher educational level than your neighbors (we both hold advanced degrees) and has most probably heard more words at home, already learned to read, etc., and do any anglos have fears about your child being treated differently or bullied because your child is white. It is possible that my child will be the only white child in her grade. I'm not trying to be racist. I don't consider myself racist. This IS my neighborhood. I just worry that I will put her in a situation that might end up hurting her. I'm really torn. I'd like to hear from people in the same situation (seems like OP was) or who have already gone there and can tell me their feelings. I know a lot of people feel like early education is just about sdrawing and cutting, but I really bellieve that early ed. sets the foundation for a love of learning, so I do take it seriously. This school teaches spanish, and I would love that for my child. I would also love her to appreciate and respect all people, even people who may be culturally very different from her. But I don't want to be some kind of cockeyed optimist and have my child pay the price for it. [ Reply | More ]

Honestly, my child is not white. I would personally prefer a school that is not uber white. However, if the school has bad scores and a majority of dc on free lunch I would not do it. I worked for the DOE for 10 years and have seen too much at these types of schools. If a majority of the parents do not value education it is very hard for teachers and administrators to provide a quality education. Just my opinion, from my experience. GL. IF you want to mention the school I might be able to give you more specific feedback. [ Reply | More ]

I can't tell you do it if I had not done it myself.

It's difficult for any child to be so in the minority (white, black or latina) also because you've set up the "buffet" for them to shape their ideas of what is desireable as they mature and form their own sexuality even in elementary. My white gf who grew up in Paterson was conditioned to only find black guys sexually appealing, for example. That's also why black UMC educated in mostly white schools end up with mates that aren't black. It's an imprint from a young age. [ Reply | More ]

OP: September is the worst time. If you feel strongly that you cannot block out all the insanity then yes you should think about not sending. IME it all calms down once people have a spot and a year at that school passes [ Reply | More ]

Sure a few boarding schools and a few in DC and Chicago, but none of those areas have as high a concentration of excellent schools as NYC does. Those are just facts [ Reply | More ]

NYC has some good high schools. Teh elementary schools are mostly not that good - at least not that good if you think schools should teach a lot. I'm including elite publics, second tier privates and some TT privates as well. [ Reply | More ]
