[quote=Anonymous]We were at one of the elementary schools in Vienna, where most people who lived in the community sent their kids there and relatively few people sent their kids to privates. It was really nice feeling like part of a community that supported the public schools; where most of the teachers were well-trained and competent; and where most of the students were well above average academically. Previously, we had lived in DC. The handful of kids in our neighborhood mostly attended different private schools, and many of those private schools talked a good game about being small and nurturing, yet did not hesitate to exclude students who didn't come from the right families or to "counsel out" students who did not fit their mold. If you really believe in democracy, sending your kids to the public schools is the best way to have skin in the game.[/quote]
