[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of these seem applicable to just the district you were in, while others are more general about the suburbs - your extremely lengthy post would have been a lot more meaningful if you differentiated between the two. Would you mind saying what town this is? Or at a minimum, what county?[/quote]

Sorry, it was kind of a rant.

I can't say definitively which parts of this were district-specific versus general - I do know that we were one of the stingier wealthy towns in the area, and that we had a particularly badly-designed town charter, so the issues with budget cuts might have been less bad elsewhere, but I don't get the impression that there's any suburban district where they aren't constantly trying to convince childless people that it's worth paying higher taxes to keep the schools good because the schools are underwriting your home value.

Honestly I wasn't trying to compare suburbs negatively to private school as much as I was trying to compare them negatively to a city public school. I think a lot of people look at suburban schools as their second choice if things don't pan out with private, and I think many of them would be better off staying in the city and moving to a good elementary school zone, particularly with the class size law about to start applying to high-performing schools.[/quote]
