[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The crabs in the bucket mentality in this thread is sad. With a few exceptions, real rich people are not sending their kids to public schools. I see a bunch of middle class people (LMC to UMC, but middle class nonetheless) at each other's throats bickering about percentage points in diversity and taking umbrage that a school another middle class person is zoned for is overcapacity by hundred students more.

Direct your ire to the Chevy Chase Club and Georgetown Prep, not some family paying $4,000/month to live in what a lot of truly rich people consider a teardown off of Massachusetts Avenue so their kid can go to Whitman.

Paying a premium with the hopes of having a public good (public education) differentiated in your favor is disgusting.[/quote]

Taking a discount with the hope the marginal local schools will offer “enrichment” isolation to replicate a higher SES environment  for your otherwise normal kid is hypocritical and pathetic . You’re a bigot too just with a smaller bank account. All those silver spring people who took a 50% discount from BCC but paid 50% more not to be in PG are just lying to themselves while acting out a sour grades mob mentality.[/quote]

I have no idea what *specific scenario* you are running in your head in response to my post.

No idea.

My guess is this:

Someone said everyone at BCC is a bigot trying to avoid the poors

Then someone said no, everyone in Silver Spring is a bigot too because they took a “discount” to live in place where their white kid is a bigger fish in a smaller pond, but they’re too bigoted to live in PG

And under this reasoning I figure that means everyone in PG is just too bigoted to live in SE DC. Basically the poster is saying that yeah the rich and white may be paying to isolate themselves but that is just human nature and we all suck. It’s what unethical people usually believe.[/quote]

Ethical people?!?  So the only ethical thing is to make affluent people live among the have-nots so they stand a better chance of to mooch off them? If that is the case let’s take it a step further and say every white person who’s grandparent bought a house in a white neighborhood with the GI bill and used their equity to pay for colleges, weddings, bail or private schools need to move to a poor black neighborhood and start over to truely earn the moral high ground they are spewing from.

Sorry life has winners and losers and the losers rarely get invited to the after-party (except in rugby)[/quote]
