[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The overall tenor of this exchange is interesting and with each new post I wonder about what its author’s motivation is. In many ways the posts read as if written by bitter families. Perhaps these are folks who have not been offered admissions or families who have sent children to private school but then been surprised by how the community is structured?

It is all fairly straightforward. Private education is a luxury, discretionary item on increasingly high demand. While our society is held accountable to provide access to quality public education, no one is entitled to private education and there are no requirements that access be given to it regardless of financial circumstance. The affluent in the independent school community have rightfully prioritized easing access to those with less means to help diversify the learning environment they are creating, but that doesn’t change the basic model. Those with greater resources, whether measured in money, status, connections, or talent have greater access - period. The rest of us who are not as wealthy in these resources need to keep this in perspective. Our chances for access are inherently less. When we aren’t offered admissions it may be a bummer, but as long as the laws of our jurisdictions aren’t broken, there is nothing unfair about self selection to private resources.[/quote]

True but that was not what the original post was about. People here seem to have no reading comprehension whatsoever.[/quote]

:roll: The exchange long ago shifted, as it almost always does, from the OP.[/quote]
