[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes i agree. I have no problem with you sending your kids to private or charter; what I do have a problem with is you calling yourself a liberal or progressive while you avoid your neighborhood school. I read your FB posts full of indignation at stricter immigration rules enforcement, while I know you are going at great lengths to avoid the illegal immigrant kids at your local school.[/quote]

Think of this - if I’m zoned for a better school (say a rating >5) and I send my kid to private school, do you know what I’ve just done? I’ve opened up a spot at one of the better public schools for an OOB kid. That makes me a better progressive than if I fled to the burbs to an all-white school district. [/quote]

That's an interesting difference compared to Maryland. OOB kids aren't allowed here. So when you leave and take your high-achieving kid and wealth with you, you slightly decrease the school's scores and PTA effectiveness and you slightly increase its % of FARMS and ESOL, making it less attractive to other middle class families in the future. It's obviously your own business, but that's the kind of spiral we see in my area and it does tick some parents off. It makes "bad school" a self-fulfilling prophesy.[/quote]
