This makes me furious. These are PUBLIC schools! My elementary, middle, and high schools in MCPS don't have access to these resources. I mean, I knew the deck was stacked against us, but not by this much.

We are also hardworking. We are also taxpayers. But our families don't come from money, so we can't afford to buy into these districts that are dominated by $1million+ SFHs.

The extent of which the wealthy think they 100% deserve what they have makes me furious. They only see that they're giving their children the best-- not that in by doing so they're depriving other children of opportunities.

What happened to our sense of community? Everyone is just out for what they can grab for themselves.[/quote]

But, how are they depriving other kids of opportunities?  They are not providing those opportunities, but they are not actually putting up roadblocks to others accessing them.  There will always been people with easier access to things than you.  That is just life.  But we are not talking about things that are fundamentally scarce.  School supplies are plentiful and available as are career day events or Halloween parties if you bother to plan them.   Limiting someone else’s ability to have these things makes no sense because they are not in limited supply.   [/quote]
