[quote=Anonymous]To the PPs who are poo poo-ing the soup kitchens, what would you have these people do?  You can use this hypothetical to answer.

Assume the Smith Family lives in-boundary for a JKLMM school.  Also assume the Smith family can pay for all of their children to go to private school or they can send some or all to public school.

Public school would do little in terms of providing economic and, frankly, racial diversity because of the neighborhood it is in and because there are extremely few OOB spots.

Private school would provide little economic diversity (despite the fact that the Smiths do all they can to support financial aid), but would improve the racial and religious diversity.

The Smiths choose private school, but the Smiths also want their children to know that they have much to be thankful for.  Should the Smiths:
A.  Teach the kids about giving back and doing meaningful volunteering?
B.  Not do anything to help others because the DCUMs say it looks like some noblesse oblige BS,
C.  Send the kids to public anyway just so they can hopefully meet and befriend the one or two OOB kids in their grade, even though the grade has 125 kids in it?
D.  Not teach them anything about others and let them find out for themselves people live in different ways than everyone in their school or neighborhood?[/quote]
