Lastly, I am of the opinion that public education should be equitable.  You should not be able to buy your child's way into a special program through your[b] ability to afford a certain neighborhood,[/b] nor should any child be relegated to school that struggles to meet the minimum standards and struggles to raise PTA funds to provide enrichment activities and field trips, because your family cannot.  If you want the ability to "buy" a better school, you have the freedom to do so at a private school. [/quote]

LOL umm ok, the issue is not that you dope. There are minimum standards that all public schools should meet, and even the lowest one's meet that. If you want something that exceeds the standard you go to a richer area. Not that hard, ECON 101[/quote]

I don't think PP is talking about regular neighborhood schools.  This sounds like the PP is calling out the asburd ASFS/Key boundary.  ATS and HB are choice, so the whole county can opt-in to the lottery.  ASFS is also "choice", but not really.  ASFS is a special school for kids whose parents can afford Key boundaries.  Although, when you read this board long enough and talk to parents who have experience with that school, you start to realize it isn't all that they wanted you to believe.[/quote]
