Who doesn't know that unless they just flew in from Mars.
I went to a 90% White high school. It wasn't as safe as you would think. I speak from what I saw an experienced. The only guarantee is if a kid (of any race) goes to private school.

I sometimes travel to rural areas (for hiking) and I still carry my 9mm. I carry my gun wherever I'm allowed to.

I would read this article. It is about school violence. This has been going on for decades upon decades.

If you had a choice, would you go to a 90% white high school or a 90% black high school?

Homeschooling also depends on one parent being available to spend hours daily at home with their child. Most parents don't have that luxury.

Wild guess, you're trying to low-key make a racial slight, without mentioning race. I've heard the 13% thing over and over.

Looking back, I wish I had been homeschooled throughout ALL of my childhood or put in private school. I hated my high school and my middle school.

For most of my childhood, my mother stayed home and my father worked. I don't think my mother wanted to homeschool. She had to homeschool me for one semester (I was quite young and immature. I was all book and awkward with social skills). I don't think she had the patience.

Depends on where it is. If it was a private school or the kids were mostly upper middle class, demographics wouldn't matter.

My high school had a sizable "redneck" constituency. Let's just say many kids who were of that subculture weren't kind to me.

Personally, if I had children, I would never put them in public schools, regardless of demographics.

You'd be surprised at how many low income parents make it work.

I see it on a daily basis. It can be done if it's a family priority.
