[QUOTE="bèlla, post: 74118096, member: 416395"] I don’t have personal experience with busing. However, the Catholic high school I attended was not diverse. I would estimate that 95% of the population was Caucasian. With 5% comprised of Hispanic and Asian students. There were 4 African-American girls including myself. We all got along well. My daughter had similar experiences and I think its made her more well-rounded. I believe exposure is important. But I’m uncomfortable with placing children in situations where they’d incur ridicule or harm. And that includes private and boarding schools too. The parent isn’t walking that out. They aren’t dealing with the ridicule and insults. I don’t know what I would have done. I’m glad I don’t have to make that choice. It isn’t easy. [/QUOTE]
