Diversity worth $12, 870 to some parents…

The New York Times ran an interesting weekend article about parents seeking diversity in their children’s educational experiences. Says a mother whose three-year-old is attending two expensive foreign-language schools, “People who start their children on a language so young understand it’s a multicultural world and they want their children to be part of it.”

The article also discusses the difficulty African-American families face in choosing a school district which offers high-quality schools with a diverse student body. It’s worth a look!
