Right - that's called democracy.

If you don't want to use the public system, available to all irrespective of the amount of taxes paid, based on  income, there's to option of going private.

If you choose not to go private, or can't afford to, then you can use the public system that's available to all citizens, regardless of income, where how much you put in doesn't give you special privileges.

It's been a long time since I took civics, which I understand is not taught anymore, but I think that's how it works.[/quote]

You are missing the core problem here, there's no expectation of special "privilege".  That core problem being that most of the DCPS schools do not meet basic educational needs.

It's not right that people who pay a ton of money in to the public system should be excluded from it due to the fact that the public system is not meeting their educational needs.

That's not democracy.

We are paying for SCHOOLS, not glorified daycares.  And, the laws speak of schools, not glorified daycares.   As such, we pay for schools, deserve schools and have legal basis for expecting schools.  Stop denying us that.[/quote]
