[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13.09 you dont get private school economics. It is price-discrimination. [/quote] What does this mean?[/quote] It means that people want the entire class to be "nice kids" - that is, for a class of peers who have strong abilities and come from families with middle to upper class behavior and support. The game is to widen the pool of applicants by admitting some less affluent families, but no one is bending over backwards to bring kids living the poverty line into the schools. It makes me sick when I think about it, as a resident of a lower-income neighborhood; at the same time, I'm also paying big bucks because I want a positive, challenging, drama-free environment for my gradeschooler. There's a certain amount of social chaos that is inevitable at my neighborhood school, and no matter how bad I feel about it, I also can't change it. [/quote]
