[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private schools are businesses are should not be held to any standard like that, OP. Ridiculous. - DC Resident.[/quote] Actually, they are required to serve the public good under their tax exemption unlike a for-profit business. As a neighbor of several of them, I can tell you that I would look upon them quite differently if our child was not accepted and I would be inclined to oppose all construction projects they wish to undertake, etc. in the future. They definitely understand that they need to keep their neighbors happy, so they actually do accept the very local kids on a preferred basis. But if you live out of the immediate neighborhood, they don't care where you live.[/quote] The public good that private schools serve is educating children. Period.[/quote]
