[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Youngkin’s kids went to Little Langley, NCS, St Albans and Georgetown Prep.   All privates. Most not even in Virginia. Very very telling. [/quote]
Um, His opponent sent his kids to the Ultra Elite Potomac School in McLean.[/quote]

And?  Had zero to do with current subject. But nice try whataboutism-er. [/quote]

It is relevant. His democrat opponent sent his kids to the most expensive and ultra elite school in virginia (more elite than Little Langley, more expensive and harder to get into). He had choice for his kids due to the amount of money he has, and exercised that choice. And, his policy proposal is not to give parents public school choice options outside their zipcodes, and not to give vouchers for privae schools.  I think that is very apalling, and very very elite.

That’s not how public school works in this country - no one is owed vouchers or “public school choice.”  You go to the public school to which you are assigned or test in to a magnet. That is our public school system. If you don’t like it, it’s on you to find an alternative. Stop promoting the notion that you are OWED anything beyond a free education for your kid in the public school system. That’s not how it works.

Yes, it does not work like that in this country I agree. I am also the product of public schools, from a different country, where based on your success you can apply to other schools and have a chance at better schools. It is a complicated choice system, there is no restriction to zipcodes, and works better than the public school system here.

But hey, since I am on this forum, my kids are in private school aren't they? That shows my opinion about them at this point. Do I prefer them to get better, hell yes? I wish they were better, and all kids had similar opportunities from all zip codes. Then I would not have to consider where I am purchasing home, or if the school is bad which private do I send them to. Money buys school choices in this country. The public school system does not provide any choice. I know there are better public school system all around the world, and they educate kids better by providing school choice.

So whatever you say, I know the policy research, I know examples from all around the world. I am an immigrant. Not left or right in this country. [/quote]
