[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If spending for sports is justifiable then there's no way and no reason that funding G&T isn't.[/quote]

Why the obsession with spending on sports?[/quote]

It's the GT way. They complain that their kids are not "getting enough" all the time. It is pathetic. They hate to see a child get something that they did not get. It is probably because they never played a sport and did not have to deal with inequity, like the coaches son... or maybe when the did they quit.[/quote]

I think the reverse is applicable.  People don't want to see any money going to G&T because their own kid won't get in.  But apparently it's "pathetic" and "hate" and "complaining" for one person to feel that way about sports vs. G&T but an entirely different thing and perfectly acceptable for someone else to feel the exact same way but when it's G&T vs. sports.

Also, for the PP, every district is not FCPS.  DCPS for example barely even has G&T - and they are one of the most well-funded school districts in the entire nation.  [/quote]
