[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:47 I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Much of the time, the "less fortunate" don't have to pay for athletic fees, etc. because they are on a sliding scale or are free to them.[/quote]

I meant the threads that basically say that "I live in McLean and I don't want to subsidize the less affluent schools.   It's not fair that my kid has more students in his class (even though statistically, they will be higher performing students).  It's so unfair that Title I schools have small classes.  Waaaaaaaahhhhh!"

And my kids don't even attend a Title I school.  It's a very middle of the road school with a significant cultural and socio-economic mix.  Our class sizes are almost exactly the same as the McLean schools' and there are houses that are worth about the same as mine (some even less) in the McLean Districts, so I'm paying the same property taxes as some of the whiners.  Yet I get why Title I schools have smaller classes.[/quote]

Oh, and also, I don't get why you wouldn't want the less fortunate kids, who because of their economic issues may have more social issues,  to have proper counseling so they can grow up to better better off than their parents and contributors to society at large.[/quote]
