[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren’t the whole point of private schools so people can avoid a certain kind of kid? Of course racial diversity can be “acceptable” if that kid can fit into a certain mold… but many private school parents send their kids to avoid a specific type of kid (most always from a very poor background and likely abusive home). People openly admit this on DCUM because it’s anonymous. People threaten to move all the time to escape specific schools that have a lot of at risk kids. The annoying part of all of it are the people who claim to care about equity and equality and virtue signal about it but then don’t walk the walk. I know too many of them. [/quote]

Many of us don’t virtue signal.

Yes, OP, it’s fine with me.  If a poor kid gets a scholarship and has to work to maintain that with grades and behavior, then we are happy to have them.[/quote]

Rich kids struggle with grades and behavior too, please stop perpetuating supremacy based on income. In fact rich kids can and do struggle, as many seek private schooling to coddle their kids with weak academic skills. Also there are a lot of smart people in DC that self select out of big law or jobs where you can maximize wealth. Often these ppl who self select out are more intelligent, learned, and credentialed than those who cling to their corporate gigs b/c it’s the best thing that ever happened to them. Get over yourself, you aren’t that impressive nor are you or your progeny as smart as you think you are.[/quote]
