[quote=Anonymous]I keep my kids in my neighborhood schools in part because I'm uncomfortable with the widening gap between haves/nots in this country. Sure, maybe my kids'd be better able to float down the highway of life within a bubble of fabulous, well-educated, well-off peers if I kept us within our peer group, educationally and financially. But I don't think that that's a tenable solution for us as a society. Siphoning off the top percentile and leaving the rest behind is a recipe for worsoning all sorts of things, including the economy, if the competitve edge thing is what's really at stake for parents. If I thought the schools were dangerous or that my kids were unhappy or that they weren't getting an adequate education, I'd put them in private. But I'm not gonna do it just to gild the lily, as it were. [/quote]
