[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I hate this. I am part of the problem, having just enrolled my child in private school.

I know why public schools are important and why having rich high-achieving kids in public school is important. We had bent over backward to stay at our public school despite some minor disadvantages to our kid. But we have just hit our limit.  I still think our school is great -- but they are limited by FCPS, and FCPS has screwed up repeatedly.  They have really played into the GOP talking points that public services are bad.

My spouse thinks we'll return to public school in 2021. I think we're probably in private until junior high.

I still don't support vouchers, as a policy matter. [/quote]

God forbid those less fortunate be able to make the choice you did[/quote]

I'm the PP you're responding to. The school provides need-based financial aid. If you want to talk about need-based vouchers, that's interesting and maybe a good idea. But vouchers tend to be pushed by the wealthy, who are in private school regardless of what it costs and just want to not pay for community schools.  Somebody who does not qualify for financial aid should not be getting vouchers.[/quote]

The only activists I have seen are working class, like the bw who went to a Warren event to talk to her about vouchers and choice.  She told Warren that she wanted a choice, just like Warren had for her own children.

Democraic party politicians are wrong on this issue.  They send their kids to privates and top publics, and tell their voters how very important it is that their children don't have options.[/quote]

limousine liberals are still a thing. You can argue about the value of public education and how important it is that kids stay in public all you want, but it rings hollow when you buy houses specifically to be in boundary for certain schools [/quote]

And this site is full of them. Regularly disparaging most of the public schools and talking about how only a few are acceptable.[/quote]
