[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As though they couldn’t believe that folks actually believe in helping out and being part of their local school community.  The kids that attend this school live in our neighborhoods and surrounding community.  They are your neighbors.  Or did you just leave the behind when you went private?

LOL, how is any of this surprising to you? We live in a country that glorifies and celebrates selfishness and rugged individualism.[/quote]

You are being disingenuous.  If you have school age children and you do NOT send them to the local public schools, then you are NOT (by your own choice) a part of the local school community.  It rings as INCREDIBLY condescending and false for you to try to be involved and “help out” all those OTHER kids...[/quote]

DP. Wait, what? Are you seriously suggesting that people who don't send their kids to public schools shouldn't volunteer or advocate in education, let alone work in education? Do you realize how crazy that sounds? [/quote]

I’m saying actions speak louder than words.  If you support the local public schools, then send your kids to the local public schools.  You don’t get credit for “supporting” the schools while simultaneously showing that they’re not actually good enough for YOUR kids.  It’s really not complicated.[/quote]
