I put my daughter in a "jewish" school for a few years. it cost 2k a month. that network is a guarantee to the best collage and being peers with successful and influential people in the future. just couldnt afford it after awhile and it was for 1st and 2nd grade. I do think we need our cultural experience but I want my daughter to have balance so she can navigate any social and cultural circle.

I could clock that when I was 11 and my folks sent me to private school as a test for a week, off the recommendation of some of the parents of the kids I played travel soccer with.
Them kids acted different af in their day to day lives compared to how they did in our team setting :mjpls:

:comeon: Only if you depending on the school to raise your children.

I attended "rich white schools" and summer camps. I also read Carter G Woodson's 'miseducation of the negro' when i was 10.

:unimpressed:

Supplement your child's formal education with the things that they'll never get during the day. Im lucky I had the parents I had. If there's a rich white school where your kid can get the fundamentals and basics down pat...then there's no reason not to.

But you never want your kid to be the ONLY black kid in class. I get it.

It's the truth especially for young black women that grow up in white areas.
Black women that grow up in all white areas are the worst:gucci:

they have to deal with normal racism as a black person on top of European beauty standards as a woman, that make them crave white male attention for validation.

Some will lash out and act like they’re super pro black, but it’s only because deep down they want a seat at the table beside white men, because that’s what they’ve been indoctrinated at these white schools to believe is the prize, since they were innocent little girls :francis:

Parenting becomes more important so they can know the REAL...

But let's keep it a buck..

The amount of connections and networking that can happen is a game changer...

This. I went to school with kids who had parents that were surgeons, lawyers, athletes, developers, politicians, CEOs.

showed me a whole new world out there that I wanted. Limiting your pool just limits your options and your dreams IMO.

Those people aren't going to help out a black person.

I had the choices between a top rated majority white private HS, a selective enrollment public school that was mixed raced, or my all black poor performing neighborhood HS.

I believe my parents made the best decision pushing me towards the selective enrollment school over the private one. Education is important but socialization with your own race is vital as well.
