  Case: Interaction with Diverse Peers
A few years ago, we moved to a new town in the rural south during the summer. At the start of school, I was delighted to see that my son's class was quite diverse in its ethnic and racial composition. I shared with my son's fifth grade teacher that my son had a diverse groups of friends at her previous school. I told her that I would like him to work and play with as many diverse peers as possible. However, all my son's partners for projects, peers at his table, and even suggestions of "good" friends for my son have all been the same ethnicity (nearly all the same gender too) as him. I don't want to be perceived as a bothersome parent at this new school, but my son's interaction with diverse peers is important to me. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Ask about different clubs and groups that are diverse that the student can join. This will give the student an opportunity to meet new, diverse people.
