[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I wanted to send my kid to Sidwell or some other fancy private school, I wouldn't expect Alexandria to pick up the tab for that. I will go so far as to say that I would be ridiculed by my fellow citizens for asking for such a thing. What I don't understand is why it's not any different when people want Alexandria to pay for their kids to go to TJ. From the City of Alexandria's perspective, TJ is just another school that it takes a lot of money to send a kid to. Of course, people have the right to send their kids to Sidwell if they want to. But subsidizing that isn't really part of the ACPS mission statement.[/quote] Except Sidwell is a private school, and TJ is a regional public high school. That is a big difference. You are already helping pay for TJ as a state taxpayer. [/quote]
