[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is a white person with money supposed to do. We go to all rich schools with high test scores we are greedy racists who don’t share. We go to poor schools and try and raise the standards and [b]abdicate for our kids[/b] (the horror I know) we are oppressive and not sensitive to people who can’t keep up. If we go private we are elitist who are the scum of the earth.

What you really want is rich people to go sit in the corner and be quite. That isn’t how power works even if the new generation has confused outrage with power.[/quote]

Advocate for your kids, please.

But don't advocate ONLY for your kids.[/quote]

What happens when they have conflicting needs?

If you take the “should step aside, they be fine either way” angle due to the odds 
Do i get the “yours shouldn’t take a resource, it will only go to waste most likely” [/quote]

Then, as a parent, you advocate for your child, but as a PTA person, you advocate for all of the children in the school.

And if you are unable to separate the two roles and advocate for all of the children in the school as a PTA person, then don't be a PTA person.[/quote]

^^^Also, is this a new issue? No. Here's Rabbi Hillel, 2000 years ago: "If I am not for me, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, who am I?"[/quote]
