[quote=Anonymous]Private schools are bastions of privilege, and while I might not be thrilled with the fact that we still have people surfing on the luck of birth, I would never expect schools to reserve places for the poor little rich children in DC because they couldn't possibly attend school with all those OTHER children who aren't nearly so special. This is what I find grossly unfair: Suburban families claiming to live with Great Aunt Bertha so their children can attend Ellington for free. Have seen the same thing in other cities too, especially with academic magnets. Or TJ, where people from around the world rent townhouses to send their kids to school here. This is questionably fair to the locals who support the schools. Private schools, whether or not I like the "to the manor born" exclusivity, do not owe entitled megalomaniacs anything. [/quote]
