[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why have you decided your "conscience is clean" before knowing the rules?[/quote]

My conscience is clean because I'm currently supporting the public school system through my substantial tax contributions, which is just fine by me, and I'm willing to continue doing it, but I'd like to also get some benefit from it. I do OK in terms of income, and I choose to live in an "up-and-coming" part of the city, because I don't believe in well-off people segregating themselves in their Georgetown or Kalorama islands of privilege. I want my daughter to be exposed to a richer, more diverse social environment than she currently gets at her $4K/month private school, but I'm not willing to sacrifice the quality of her education. If I can spend $1,500 on rent instead, and send her to a good public school that I'm already paying for, I won't feel an ounce of guilt about it.[/quote]

This is ridiculous logic. I'm also supporting the public schools through my tax contribution. The school my kids get for it is either the school we live in-bounds for or the school we get into in the lottery. Just because you're paying taxes doesn't mean you get to go to whatever you think is the best school by whatever means you think are appropriate.[/quote]
