[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One other thing, re sending kid to private: would it be less hypocritical, think ye, for me to sell my house in a working class neighborhood to go live with rich folks in the expensive neighborhoods with good schools?  That is what most people do, out of love for their kids, no matter what their values, but if you think private school is hypocritical for someone with social justice inclinations, so is moving to a better school district.

Sending your DC to private school benefits ONE child (your own).  Being part of a public school and advocating (and paying for) additional services/staff benefits the entire school. There is a difference.

Are you telling me, it doesn't bother you even a little bit, that a private school parent would suggest that public school parents can't do what they think is best for their school/raise funds for their school/staff that school for the benefit of that school?  Can't see the social justice in a private school parent saying, essentially, oh, you public school people should just take the minimum MOCO standards.  Talk about haves and have nots: either minimal standard publics or leave and spend your money on private.  That doesn't sound like social justice by any standard.[/quote]
