[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So good quality PUBLIC school education is only for the affluent? Got it.  [/quote]

The difference in the school quality is NOT driven by the money and resources being allocated (assuming we're talking about school quality as being defined by test scores).  In fact, if you go by money spent and teacher/student ratio the non-affluent areas are measurably better. The affluent areas are funding a better quality of education in the poorer areas than they would be able to by themselves.  I doubt they would be that good w/o tax revenue from the richer areas.

Yet this thread isn't about people's anger that poor areas are getting the benefit of tax dollars from wealthier individuals, instead it is about someone who can't afford to live in a certain area having the nerve to care enough about their child's education that they try to find a way to get access to a quality public school.  The key here is that it is public school. if people want to be exclusive about who attends the school then they should pay to send their child to private school.  But people acting like they get to corner the market on PUBLIC schools is mind-blowing to me.

If those who cares about their child education finding a LEGAL way to get to better school (COSA, special program, you name it) - I have no problem with that 
I guess OP of original topic wouldn't mind that too.  
Fraud covered by child's best interest is still fraud no matter how you phrase it.[/quote]
