[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We chose private because (1) I don't want my kids to have to compete at a school as big as Wilson with lots of great students, and (2) given the utter lack of reasonable gun safety measures in this country, I want my kids in a school where disturbed kids get counseled out.[/quote]

So you’re for discriminating against kids who are different than you?   And you don’t really believe in meritocracy because you want to limit the pool of students you’re kid has to compete with daily.  So essentially you for aiding your kid to live in the world of make believe instead of the real world?

I wonder what the world would be like if all schools “counseled out” those “disturbed kids” or ones they didn’t like?[/quote]

I’m not sure why you’re surprised- discrimination against some group or another is the cornerstone of private schools. Lots of schools & families like to sugarcoat it, but ultimately discrimination is a key building block of what makes a private school. All the token attempts at “equity” and FA are really just window dressing.[/quote]

By that logic anything that is fee based is discriminatory.

$5 to get into a show vs $40k to get into a school isn’t really a realistic comparison, but many private school parents don’t really do realism, so that tracks.[/quote]
