Mark and Ray’s stories about about The Dalton School are compelling. As always we are providing some additional information. We’ve included links about The Dalton School’s struggle with diversity as well as the struggles of the New York City public school system. Black parents who seek a high quality education for their children often have difficult decisions to make. We have also included some links on the pros and cons of sending a Black child to private school or to one of the specialized schools in NYC. Hope these Resources for Thriving and Surviving are helpful.
