[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 66886, member: 1550"] Meg, no. There are few AA in this neck of the woods, period. Plus my daughter wouldn't want to just hang around with AA kids. To her that would be silly. I just wish there was more of a mix in our neighborhood. She is showing an interest in boys already and is quite well-developed, so I don't think she'll want to be 17 before she dates. On the other hand, I don't want her to date, even casually, until she is at least fourteen. The scary thing is, kids start dating at twelve (she's eleven). I think I'm going to take a "wait and see" attitude since there is no way in hello that she's going on ANY sort of date, even in a group, until she is in high school. They have dances here and she's gone to them and danced. There was no problem there (I hate dances for fifth graders, by the way). I'll see how it goes and if any of the boys seem interested in her before then. If it seems like she could miss out due to her race, I can broach that "you know, the other school has a much better athletic department" issue again. And I'm so glad to live in Wisconsin, where you can pick where your child goes to school, no matter where you live! Thanks, all! [/QUOTE]
