[quote=Anonymous][quote]This was more a response to those who say that it is taken resources from poor children. I meant to post it in response to another post. I think it is middle class MD/VA people taking resources from middle class DC folk. They are taking resources from EVERYONE.[/quote] Exactly. We don't even have kids in DCPS and never will. Nevertheless, our household pays a &%#-ton of taxes to the District, in part to operate public schools. I am delighted by that, actually. I feel gratitude that we have the means to shift some of our high income (via taxes) to — theoretically — provide a net for those most at risk. Philosophically, we also like the idea of robust pubic schools for all DC kids, regardless of means. I loathe the thought that I'm paying for free daycare for MC/UMC city employees who drive in from Mitchelleville in their Lexus SUVs to show up at their $128,000 a year entitlement city jobs (which I also overpay for).
