And a lot of us understand that, even if our kids aren't experiencing the same fast-paced classrooms and group projects and putting on musical productions during elementary school, they are not forever doomed to failure and poverty.  Kids from every elementary school go on to thrive in middle and high school on par with the kids who did experience all those things in elementary.  Do I feel my kids missed out or could have had more exciting elementary experiences?  to some extent, yes.  Do my kids know any differently?  No.  And they get the same high SOL scores those more privileged kids in low-poverty schools get.  But they aren't looking at a kid in the neighborhood park and asking him where he lives and goes to school because it's obvious by his skin color or speech that he doesn't go to theirs. [/quote]

Dude, just cause you are willing to settle for a mediocre educational experience for your kid doesn't mean the rest of us should. You do you.[/quote]

Obviously, you're one of those who don't understand the concept above.  So, good for you.  Our kids will be sitting next to yours in middle school, or in their AP/IB high school classes, or even sitting the other side of the desk waiting for your kid to come in for his/her interview.[/quote]
