[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]!8:37 I agree with you 100%.  Public schools need active, engaged, smart, demanding parents in order to be pushed to be the best.  If parents simply opt out, you are, in fact weakening the public school system.  It is the reason Warren Buffet advocates doing away with private school (not something I agree with, but his point is well taken).  If everyone had to be in the public school system then, theoretically, those engaged parents would improve the system for all.[/quote]

What makes you think public schools want active, engaged, smart, and demanding parents? Mine sure didn't. They'd do whatever they could to keep parents away and were more than happy for those active and engaged parents to take their children somewhere else and stop rocking the boat.[/quote]

Public schools don't want PITA parents (your "rocking the boat") any more than private schools want them. Having had kids in public and private schools, I can say that the desire to help PITA parents move elsewhere is universal among school administrators of all stripes.[/quote]
