[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP - you are talking about communist societies, not socialist.  There is truly a difference.  And I said I was joking, yes?

I don't think it is hypocritical to send my kid to private school and advocate for all public schools to be great.  I do think it is sad, though.  I'd send my kid to public if it was a good fit.  But we are sending him instead to a religious school that offers something totally different than a high quality public would, because they are allowed to put religious values (like serving the poor, simplicity, prayer) into their day.

If the public school was great, we'd give it a good try.

However, I support the schools with my tax dollars, and would be happy to be taxed more, even though my kid doesn't go to the school.

I'm not saying its not a difficult choice, morally.  But the best I can do is advocate for what I think is just, and try to do the best by my son.[/quote]

You are a hypocrite.  What is particularly odious is that you are trying to stop public school parents from making their schools better for ALL the children in their particular school...all the while, you have opted out of public school b/c you can afford private.  If "social justice" was important to you, you wouldn't send your kid to private school.  Nothing wrong with that choice, per se, it is the hypocrisy.  You claim to support social justice, while participating in an elitist pay-for-school private system (After all, social justice would dictate that, because all kids can't afford it, your kid shouldn't have it, right).  On top of that, you suggest that parents in the public system should not try to make their schools better...simply b/c they can't make all schools better.  Yes, hypocrisy.[/quote]
