[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am new to dc and I noticed the stark difference between the two types of segregation. Private schools are happy if they are racially diverse, but not so happy to be diverse in terms of socioeconomic  groups. If find this attitude a bit schizophrenic. [b]Do you think this is ok?

I don’t try to dictate how other people spend their money. So yeah, I think it is fine. They are private schools.

Now let’s talk about public schools, where as a taxpayer, I should have a say. Why aren’t you complaining about the rich vs the poor public schools? Look at any of the DC or close in suburbs. Let’s take Arlington. There is a stark difference between the wealthiest and poorest schools.[/quote]

Socioeconomic segregation is fine for private schools but it is only bad for public schools. It totally makes sense. [/quote]

Agree. I’d rather (myself and others) spend their money on education than on supporting megalomaniacs like Musk or not spending it and hoarding it for themselves.  Curious what other people want rich people to spend on?

And before you say charity- think about your own hypocrisy.  Do you donate everything to live like a pauper or do you spend on extracurriculars and tutoring for your children.  And keep in mind we pay much more in taxes and probably donate more to charity.  At least I do - about 200k/yr.[/quote]
