[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't like the tone of PP who is saying private school is a luxury, and I think GOOD schools shouldn't be a luxury, they should be a right, and every child should go to a really good school.  But till that day comes...people who have crappy local schools will do their damndest to send their kids to a better schools. [/quote]

How do you define good? I don't know you so I don't mean to put words in your mouth, but unfortunately lot of people around here only consider a school "good" if most of the children who attend it do not receive free lunch. Frankly, for some people, a good school that every child could go to would no longer be exclusive enough for them to consider it a good school. I'm not sure what city or county you are referring to but my county (Mongtomery) has excellent schools, and when people refer to some of them as "crappy," they are referring to their opinion of the particular group of children who attend them. Which is very unseemly to me.[/quote]pp
I think you are clueless
Obviously we are not talking about kids receiving free lunches.[/quote]

Not pp, but I certainly wouldn't classify it is "obvious" that is not what people are talking about.  The nearly reflexive attitudes on this board is that the only possible way a public school can be good is if there aren't a lot of poor kids there.[/quote]
