[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think maybe we disagree on what public schools mean in a fundamental way if you believe that the [b]price of the house a child's family can afford should directly determine the quality of their public school education. Maybe you should get a cheaper house and pay for private school[/b].[/quote]

what is your understanding of it?[/quote]

DP.  Public school is for all people, not just the stellar students, the bright kids, the academically inclined.  Or the rich.  That's why my kids go to public school.  [/quote]

im trying to understand how PP thinks that people who pay into public schools should not expect decent schools and some semblance of competence ... unless they're poor?[/quote]

are you saying that McLean residents do not get decent schools and competence?  because they do.  they also complain a lot.  [/quote]

You consider dilapidated trailers decent?[/quote]

Schools are not buildings.  They are teachers and students.

Nice buildings are nice.  But old buildings are fine.  And they'll be renovated on their schedule.  [/quote]

And this is the reason those tax dollars should be kept within McLean's boundaries. You basically just said give over those tax dollars and f*ck off until we decide your children shouldnt be educated in trailers that are falling apart.[/quote]

I didn't say that.  I said that I believe in public schools.  And my kids go to public school.

A lot of parents choose McLean for the public schools and send their kids there.  Others live in McLean and send their kids to private school, so they do not believe in public school.

I don't think the reasons put forward for this are great ones, but I do not live in McLean.  They may think differently.  [/quote]
