[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We chose private because (1) I don't want my kids to have to compete at a school as big as Wilson with lots of great students, and (2) given the utter lack of reasonable gun safety measures in this country, I want my kids in a school where disturbed kids get counseled out.[/quote]

So you’re for discriminating against kids who are different than you?   And you don’t really believe in meritocracy because you want to limit the pool of students you’re kid has to compete with daily.  So essentially you for aiding your kid to live in the world of make believe instead of the real world?

I wonder what the world would be like if all schools “counseled out” those “disturbed kids” or ones they didn’t like?[/quote]

I’m not sure why you’re surprised- discrimination against some group or another is the cornerstone of private schools. Lots of schools & families like to sugarcoat it, but ultimately discrimination is a key building block of what makes a private school. All the token attempts at “equity” and FA are really just window dressing.[/quote]

Go back in time to the Soviet Union.  If you work hard and have wealth, you have the right to allocate those resources to giving yourself and your kids the best that money can buy…otherwise, why work hard?

I’m not making sacrifices to get ahead if I can’t send my kids to the best schools possible paid for with my hard earned after tax dollars![/quote]

Do private.  Have zero guilt.

Leave public to those that want to be there or can't afford to change.

If you have money you deserve to have a choice with zero guilt.

Good for you. The government feeds hungry people too. If you close your eyes you can imagine it's steak and organic vegetables. Same with education- if you dig your heels in and delude yourself you can convince yourself it's the same caliber as something you've never experienced.[/quote][/quote]
