[quote=Anonymous]The thing is money doesn’t buy the actual academic education. I went to college with private prep graduates who had FAR less academic preparation than I did. Money buys you peer group and status. I feel no guilt in doing my best to surround my kids with others who are motivated to learn and take education seriously. At a certain point, the highly privileged kids have too much and get too entitled for my taste, so I selected a highly ranked public school. I stopped feeling guilt over wanting the best for my kids. I teach in a low income area and do my best to help those kids. I vote for people I think have the best interests of all kids and for a strong social safety net. I don’t need my personal children to be used to help level the playing field. Why should they pay the price for the way our society is run? [/quote]
