This is the common counter point so I’ll take a shot showing the devise.

Of course all kids should be educated In the public schools. The problem is when rich kids get high level results and poor kids get poor results. Notice how I didn’t say rich or poor education. Problem is there is difference in results and there always will be. One side wants to water down the rich bubble schools to make them mirror the lower performaning school which won’t really help the poor kids. The other side wants to leave the poor kids in schools designed for rich kids perpetually failing least not they be accused of providing separate and unequal. Neither plan really is going to make a systematic difference in the outcomes of kids who are truly at risk. Before you trump up some study that shows that sticking 5 poor kids in some rich kid school, truly look at the controls. Not all poor kids are created equally. That and play it out, there aren’t enough Whitmans to absorb what ever magic percentage of Einstein or Kennedy, Wheaton, Gaithersburg, northwood or blair kids you want to redistribute.

Have a rich neighborhood school in a rich neighborhood is not a bad thing, having nice neighborhoods free of homeless and the lower SES hardships is not a bad thing. [b]Shame on people simply trying to stoke class envy or warfare.[/b] [/quote]

Yes, indeed, PP. Shame on people who do that.
