If I lived where I live right now, and my kids were in middle school, they would be the only white kids in the school. That is not a burden I wanted to place on them. My preference would have been a school that was totally diverse - half and half, or close. I wouldn't have hesitated at all if they would have been in the racial minority. But to be the only white kids: I don't think that would have been fair to them.
My neighborhood is fairly white, yet the local middle school is all black. It is bad. It is very bad.
I feel like no matter what happens in my career endeavors after today, going to grad school is one of the best decisions I've ever made.
