[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No-- pp s casually dropped assertion that any family that exercises school choice and doesn't attend their neighborhood school is somehow civically deficient and is damaging all those sad children "left behind" is weird.[/quote]

I'm PP, and I wasn't inferring they were "civilly" deficient, I was inferring they were doing the best for themselves.  Your denial of the evolution of the schooling options in DC and the reality of the situation over the past 10 years is perplexing.  SWS and Brent are both beautiful examples of people not being happy with their current options: in one case they banded together and changed a school for the better and in another, they literally created their own.  I don't think that makes them deficient, or uncaring, or infers in any way that they don't give a f-- about the pack.  It does, however, equate to a survival of the fittest scenario in which the pack loses the strength and the weaker aren't usually carried along.

I've been on DCUM and sending my kids to public and private schools in DC for years, I'm a fan of school choice, I've "peeled off" rather often, it was that or leave.  However, I'm also aware there are very real ramifications of that "choice" and to deny as much is like saying you don't believe in climate change.

Again, not really sure why you have such a chip about this.  It was a debate about a term, the term remains quite applicable, and you asking that it not be used is silly.[/quote]
