i'm not so sure that the "desegregation" is meant on those bounds. personally i think people are pulling their kids out of the public system and puting them in private b/c of the public education system. i don't know about anywhere else but here in houston, quite fankly, it's all due to the utopians here. there is no more discipline in our school system anymore. i remember behaving because if i screwed up, i #1 got the paddle then #2 had to answer to my parents later. i think that the people that can afford private school are doing so nowadays for the better education. you just can't get it in the public system anymore. i went to both. private mostly but went public my last two years there in the late '80;s. private's better. hands down.
