[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that people who pretend that the school choices they make for their children are choices primarily about them and their own political needs and ego are pretty much jerks.

You are making choices for your kids.  Once they can make their own choices, those choices should be theirs to make.

In my mind, it's fine to make broader generalization about which schools are best for society in general.  But to disregard one's own children's needs, explicitly and entirely, in the process is narcissistic.

But this exactly what Joe didn’t do- force his policy beliefs on his daughter- and he’s getting crap for it. [b]He allowed his high schooler to decide for herself.[/b] How does that make him a hypocrite?  10 pages into this thread and I’m still waiting for a rational response.[/quote]
PP, I would invite you to re-read the article and copy the paragraph where it says he is allowing her to make the choice about which high school she will attend. We’ll wait, even it takes another 10 pages for you to find it. [/quote]
