Hi Jadedbuthappy, I see that you are new to Hacker News. I'd flag this comment as racist, but I want to support you in finding a truly nurturing education for your child that will help them thrive intellectually, socially, emotionally and be a person who contributes a positive influence in the world. I would never write a blog about not attending a school that's not 90% Indian, because that would be racist and have very little to no impact on the quality of your child's education. If you're looking for a school that is truly diverse, I would suggest you don't just look at nationality/color, but look at diversity of thought, diversity of religion, diversity of household income, diversity of gender, etcentera. I would also point out that India itself is an incredibly diverse country, one of the most diverse in the world, with a huge array of political and religious beliefs. I also want to add that you'd be fortunate to attend a school that is 90% Indian. One of the biggest factors in the success of a public school is the involvement of parent's in their children's education. I don't like to make generalizations, but of all the populations, I've worked with Indian families are the most passionate about providing high quality education for their kids, education that is not limited to career advancement, but truly nurturing their minds and spirits. If you're trying to find a school in a decent neighborhood (you didn't mention anything about India), I would recommend refining your characteristics about what it means for a school to be "good." Are you looking at test scores, student happiness, curriculum? I think it can be very hard to find a public school that isn't completely overextended with crowded classrooms, teacher shortages and having to conform their curriculum to standardized exams. Public schools are overcrowded and overstandardized. Private schools are extremely expensive, hard to get in and often are aiming to get kids into Ivy League schools more than anything else. That is why I often recommend that families do it themselves and educate their kids through homeschool/modular learning, a combination of tutors, classes and skill shares with other parents. This allows the kind of mastery learning kids need to thrive. Here is a blog I wrote about modular learning, which is an alternative to traditional school and homeschool. These communities also tend to be incredibly diverse and inclusive.
