[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The infighting between various gradations of middle class people in this thread is sad. Save that ire for the people who send all their three kids to St Albans or Holton Arms. You're all crabs in a (relatively comfortable) bucket.[/quote]

Actually, I think that people who undermine our public schools with their unexamined fears—while using public resources to bolster their own “elitism”—deserve a special kind of ire.  It’s hypocrisy at its finest.[/quote]

Ha! And to think...this is one of the most liberal and progressive counties in the United States. [/quote]

Our government's educational policy for decades has been to bring everything down to the lowest common denominator.  So if some kids are sitting in class bored while the teacher goes through the same concept 10 more times to bring the bottom of the curve up, that's viewed as a win-win for "equity.". Meanwhile, it Shanghai our competitors are studying multivariable calculus.  Then we are going to look up in 30 years and realize we seriously messed up a good thing.

But it's all ok if an overeducated underpaid progressive in Takoma Park gets to feel good between now and the day of reckoning.[/quote]

Just to be clear, when I refer to "a good thing" I refer to our status as a global leader in countless domains and our serious decline relative to rising powers resulting from our internal divisions and lackadaisical culture.  And specifically declining educational standards across the board.  I mention that because I know how much you all looooove to lecture us about the supposed lack of diversity in our 40% minority schools.[/quote]
