@warbrain , wow. Sorry, but I disagree with that totally. We moved from a very diverse neighborhood in London to a leafy suburban area outside NYC. In our London neighborhood, there was a mosque a few blocks away, a couple of small housing estates, and a huge range of people, from very well off to working class. There were kids of every race. We moved to our very good school district in the US because there was plenty of room for our kids to run around in the garden. We had a tiny garden back in England. We could have moved to a similar neighborhood in the city I guess, but we were done with city living. It wasn’t so we could avoid living near poor people and minorities. That’s quite out of order.
People want the best for their kids. As far as we were concerned, moving to our current home had everything to do with giving them plenty of space to play, and living in a good school district. I am guessing that 99% of parents would choose to live in a good school district rather than a bad one.
