[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think everyone is being very harsh. Who cares if she wants to send her kids to a good public school?  Why would you ever want to send your kids to a bad one?  I think most people are just jealous of her situation. [/quote]

I can see why it would sound that way, but some of us were responding to her statements of "We want to leave D.C. for a better school system," and then "we are major advocates for public education." The tone suggested some hypocrisy in saying they are advocates for public education but only for those districts that are so wealthy as to be de facto private schools. It also suggested superiority toward parents who choose private school.

Am I jealous? I'm not sure, but I know that we as a family intend to direct any and all extra income we have toward helping insure an appropriate education for our children. If public works well, we will do that, and if private works better for them, we will do that. (Now in public elementary.) I would not be one to say that we are "advocates" of either.

The one chip I have on my shoulder right now is that a number of wealthy parents in the western part of MoCo appear to be trying to rearrange the curriculum to try to fit their small number of apparently superstar students at the expense of the majority of the county's students. These are the public school "advocates" who bother me. [/quote]
