[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you advocating that others should have done things differently in order to afford school as full-pay, how far do you take this?

Shouldn't the poor of DC have worked harder in school?  In life?  I mean, pretty much anyone could have done well enough in a DCPS high school that they could have attended a college and could have done well enough in college to become a teacher or a nurse (which in DC are both 100K careers) and they should have had married a partner with a similar income prior to having kids and then they should have only had as many kids as they could afford to privately educate.

I mean why are some people (who are poor enough in your mind) given the pass for their decisions but others are not?

Moral of the story--->when you nose around in other people's financial lives you just drive yourself crazy. [/quote]

This is ridiculous.  We're talking about people who have assets that they don't want to use to pay tuition - preferring to keep them, and let others foot the bill.  And you have somehow compared that to someone with a low income job who should have done better in high school, gone to college, gotten a six figure job, and therefore been able to be full pay at a $50,000 private school?

Yeah, those are the same.  [/quote]
