[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If most public schools in the US offered children a good education appropriate to their abilities, then maybe there wouldn't need to be private schools.  But that's very far from the case,  While affluent suburban districts are able to do this, the situation is very different in urban and rural areas.  I would think the residents of the DC area would already know this.  The truth is that the educational opportunities available to US schoolkids are very localized and unfairly deprive a great many of them of the opportunity to achieve their full academic potential.

That is what is indefensible.[/quote]

Agreed, and that is her conclusion.[/quote]
I also wholeheartedly agree.

I don't begrudge the loaded people their decision to send their precious Larlas to ridiculously expensive schools with greenhouses, teaching kittens, archeologist in training and whatever other whimsical crap the school comes up to justify its insane tuition rate. Do whatever you please with your money. But this really is a luxury service but the problem is, the standard, non-luxury offerings, are often so bad it's terrifying. And this is a great failure of this country's public school system setup. It's different in other parts of the world, radically different.

And this country has no right to call itself the first-world superpower while there are kids who can't read and write having graduated from public school. Ugh.[/quote]
