The high school she attends is a wondrous and wonderful thing...a local magnet school in our public system, well run, not terribly biased, and about half black or minority. The great thing is that because of their high entrance requirements, the only people there are the students, of every race, who want to be there and belong there, because they know the impressive doors it can open. Very little drug problem, no measurable "race tension", and the teachers can teach, rather than spend half their time babysitting violent do-nothings.
I think we would advance the "race issue" in this country if we all were allowed to do what MLKjr proposed...judge people by the contents of their hearts. The problem remains that when you make this very reasonable judgment of a person's actions, there are still those who insist you are "just the Man keeping me down."
Unfortunately, that complaint isn't limited to one race or color. Plenty of it to go around, in every neighborhood. It's far easier to blame someone else, rather than point a finger at your own shortcomings.
Good news on your daughter's school. Mrs WBill and I are starting to look. Right now, Homeschool is the best option IMHO, with private schools in second. I don't know much about the magnet schools in my area, yet, but we're looking. Still have a good while to go.
Public schools are out AFAIC. The HS in my area recently was proud to announce - PROUD TO ANNOUNCE - that they'd raised their graduation rates to 56%.
When I went to HS 20(cough) years ago, if you showed up occasionally and didn't assault the teachers, you were reasonably assured of getting a diploma. I can't imagine that it's gotten that much more difficult.
