[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where I come from you went to public if you were poor and/or blue collar and private if you were not. I am amazed at the number of people in the DMV who like public.[/quote]

Where do you come from?  I can tell you it wasn't the case at Great Falls and Langley High School in the 80s.  Tons of loaded and powerful and influential people sent their kids to public school in NoVa.  My friends had some very famous parents in political and other arenas.[/quote]

Yeah the ones who love to go public largely don’t have any poor people in their neighborhoods so the public becomes a Beverly Hills High on 90210 type thing. Or Pacific Palisades.[/quote]

Ha- great point... people can pat themselves on the back for "being public school parents".. all the while knowing no " free lunch kids" nor minorities are zoned for their school.  My brother lives in the wealthiest neighborhood in Cincinnati -- Indian Hill. That public school remains small and looks like a private school. The only minorities are VIP kids of sports stars, doctors, etc. [/quote]
