quote “because half the kids in schools are from low-income families”
um... you mean half the kids in PUBLIC school are from low-income families.
most rich and upper middle class parents now send their kids to private school or home school them.
I think most city governments would be SHOCKED just how many white children there are living in their city. I know entire sections of town where nearly every family living there (nearly all white) either sends their kids to private school or home schools them.
This is such a large number of children, that should they all decide simultaniously to send their kids to the local public school, those school which are currently nearly 100% minority, would overnight more than double in size with white kids making up the majority.
That was my thought.
No “affluent” family that can afford an alternative would send their kids to a public school.
About half a million California kids attend private schools, compared to a little over 6 million in public schools. 60% of those schools are religious schools. Overall private school attendance is down about 4% over last year.
