What I determine to be best for my kids is more important than what some bureaucrat thinks is best. My kid is not going to a ghetto school so some pathetic post-hippie granola-head can feel good about "changing the world" and enjoy better job security.

[quote]Whatever you think your children need—deserve—from their school experience, assume that the parents at the nearby public housing complex want the same[/quote]

I assume parents in public housing are there because of poor decisions: drug and alcohol abuse, promiscuity, dismissing education in favor of ignorant, cop-hating gang music, and overall just plain stupidity.  I have purposely moved far away from the city and public housing complexes. It was one of my criteria when buying a home. [b]I do not want my children having anything to do with "garbage people". I do not want my kids influenced by such people, or to ever think their culture and values are important or worth emulating.[/b]If these public housing people want what s best for their kids then they need to take responsibility and make it happen, not expect me to sacrifice my child's education for some stupid idea of fairness.

Hey, I have an idea:  how about these parents in the public housing complex take responsibility for their own kids rather than make the rest of us suffer and sacrifice to give them more handouts and freebies and government assistance?

How about schmucks like Allison Benedikt mind her own business?[/quote]  Unless you're going to get them a new mother (or father, depending on your gender), you're out of luck.  Bummer.  [/quote]

I wish I knew where the "poor people brought it on themselves" PP's kids go to school, so I could make sure mine don't go there as well.

The Slate article author is an idiot, lazy, careless, and thoughtless. If she were in my college writing class, I'd give her a D.  Her comments about getting a bad education but it not really mattering are completely belied by what she produced as a "writer."  Sadly for her, good writing requires more than just typing out some words on the computer. Maybe she should go back to school and take some writing classes, some philosophy classes, and some poli sci classes and learn how to think.[/quote]
