      <![CDATA[Williamson focuses on diversity in schools when the real issue is diversity in neighborhoods. From birth to age 18, children spend less than 10% of their lives in school so what goes on outside of the school is far more important to a child's development.

      <![CDATA[Emily, your dream is false, in that by rezoning Cary zone to Fox you will not achieve the diversity you desire. I would predict it would actually LESS diversity than is currently there, and you would close a more diverse school in Cary.

      <![CDATA[I am curious as to why no one has mentioned the middle or high school rezoning? Most likely it is because the affluent parents only care what elementary school their child will be enrolled in because after that it will be private or county.
