My city the segergation is increased through Private and Charter Schools. One charter school has 93% Latino population. Another Private School near me has over 90% Caucasian population. It really is frustarting to see the US fall further behind. Talking further about teachers it is super one sided. Minorities are not joining the ranks of teachers and instead the diversity of teachers is getting more and more white. https://www2.ed.gov/rschstat/eval/highered/racial-diversity/state-racial-diversity-workforce.pdf https://www2.ed.gov/rschstat/eval/highered/racial-diversity/...

How do you reconcile that with charter schools being rife with physical, sexual, drug, and emotional abuse? They are universally horrible for everybody involved and (predominantly Caucasian) parents voluntarily recusing their children from these institutions is the best way to ensure a future for them. Latinos that send their kids to the private schools would argue very strongly that their children should not be forced to endure the charter schools. Those that can afford it make every effort to leave.

  The privatization of public school is taking down the Teacher Unions and making rich people richer. There is no data to suggest that Charter Schools perform as well if not better than non-Privatized Public Schools AKA Charter Schools.

  Well, sure number show more Hispanic and African descent (From 13% to 15%, but the student population has changed much more than the teacher population. 51% of students are Caucasian now but only 15% of teachers are minorities so the ratios are actually higher. Caucasian teachers educate more minority students now than ever. That is why I said the diversity of teachers is getting worse.
