[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I often wonder if the people who are extremely strong public school advocates have any experience with privates.  ...even if they SAY they've tried it their answers are often unbalanced and they seem very black and white.   I mean, I can SAY anything on an anonymous forum; doesn't mean its true.[/quote]

You can choose to discredit all opinions that are not your own, PP. Many people do this. I don't think it's the way to go, personally, and when I read opposing viewpoints on this thread, I believe the posters are sincere and genuine.

I happen to have a lot of experience with privates, and I'm happy that my kids will graduate from public schools.

I listen to balanced view points.  Extreme view points tell me that the person has an axe to grind.  I suppose I'm very balanced in this and prefer to listen to people who are more in the middle, like me.  They don't have to have the same view as me and often see things that I might not.  Extreme views from both sides, not so much.  [/quote]

I don't really see extreme viewpoints on here, though. I think we'll all normal people who speak from our own experience and environment.

When you say "balanced viewpoint", you've got to ask yourself what that means for you. Content or delivery? When I read a post that uses a forceful choice of words, it doesn't necessarily mean that poster is imbalanced and trollish. It means maybe they're having a bad day, or are tired of rehashing the same argument. In reality their views might not be too far away from your own.
