[quote=Anonymous]With priviledge comes responsibilty. Most of us in upper NW are very priviledged vis-a-vis the city as a whole and the broader society. Values of collective responsibilty are important for our family. We opt into public because we want our children to be exposed to children from different socio-economic backgrounds, yet this is often elusive at our upper NW school (not Janney). All children deserve access to quality education, and elementary certainly is not the time to give up on kids are decide which kids are "worthy" of a quality education. The literature strongly suggests that my kids will be fine academically regardless of where they go to elementary because of my education and economic background. I want them to also be good people with strong values who will make a contribution to bettering society. The assumption that people don't care about their kids in other schools or parts of the city is difficult to understand. There are really solid examples of schools like Ross that have great outcomes for all kids regardless of SES these are the school administrators I want to hear more about. [/quote]
