[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just one other perspective OP.  I chose to put my kids in public school because it is in keeping with my personal philosophy that that public schools should be the default choice.  I strongly believe in the value of public schools and feel that it is my duty as a citizen to support the institution, if you will, because strong public schools are the foundation for the kind of society I want to live in.  I want to raise my kids with very democratic, non-elitist values and worry that if I send my kids to private school, they will get the message that they are somehow superior to others, and that there are different "classes" of people.  So that is sort of my political/moral philosophy.  Having said that, I know this is more idealism than reality, because some public schools are so much better than others, and we do not live in a class-free society.  I also recognize that as a parent, you cannot sacrifice your child's happiness for the public good, so if I were not happy with my public schools, I would not hesitate to go private.  I know I can't always live my beliefs and will behave in ways that are hypocritical for the sake of my family's well-being, but I still try.   [/quote]

so this becomes some personal political agenda to gamble with your child's education and future? So you are sacrificing your innocent child who has no say to appease your liberal guilt?[/quote]
