[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well the logical conclusion is that we should take all the money that we have that isn’t needed for our basic necessities and send it to poor schools in Third World countries. Because of equity, right?[/quote]

I know you think this was an edgy response, but it's just proving your stupidity and misunderstanding of the most basic things. Congratulations! [/quote]

Ah, the ad hominem argument. Classy.

My comment is relevant because we all have an intrinsic motivation to make things better for our offspring. That includes our local schools. When we start talking about equity, we start talking about making things better for everyone. If you extend that to the fullest degree, you end up arguing for sending all of your money outside of your family to the most needy.  Now one could argue that making things better for the needy in your county will benefit your offspring more than helping those in Third World countries. But it’s important to recognize that fighting our intrinsic motivation to make things better for our kids will not lead to success because humans are not wired for that. When you look at why the rape is becoming infuriated by the progressive left, it is arguments like this that lead the way. We have to be able to feel that we are in control of the outcomes of ourselves and our children to some extent. It’s sad that some people are poor and their schools have less money. But I’m not sure equalizing everything is the answer.[/quote]
