I refused the place and was accused of being racist!


Would it be fair for my child to go to a nursery and be the odd one out, it wasnt racism... it was wanting the best for my child and i dont see that nursery as multi-cultural.... the nursery i sent ty to was multicultural and it was good for him.........

Good for you, Emamum.

I once faced a similar dilemma.

There is a perfectly good school very near to my house. However, 97% of the pupils there are asian so, not wanting my child to be in a 3% minority, I didn't send him there.

I am not racist. I just didn't think that this school would be the best one for him. He could read fluently before he started school so I didn't think that starting in a reception class alongside pupils who couldn't read / speak English very well / at all would be the best environment for him to progress and fulfil his potential.
