My lesson from Exeter

<p>@Weatherby (sorry, don’t know how to work the quote function here)</p>

<p>"How diverse is a school like PE that matriculates 44% of color and 10% international?</p>

<p>Is that the real world?"</p>

<p>IMO, when thinking about this, it’s important to remember definitions of “real world diversity” depend on the community you (or your child) is coming from. Assuming you’re American, yes, some communities are 80+% white, but other communities are very diverse, with people from many ethnic groups and backgrounds. Some neighborhoods you might even find that when parents refer to a school being diverse, “diverse” isn’t code for students of color, but instead, it refers to white families. All these scenarios together contribute to the “real” America.</p>
