[quote=Anonymous]Some of you should (re)read Tocqueville's Democracy in America. If our society could function with everyone only caring about themselves and their own kids, that would be great. The system does, in fact, work best when it uses this individualistic tendency to try to promote the common good. Perhaps the problem isn't the parents who refuse to send their kids to the underperforming schools, perhaps it's the system that has allowed individualism to run rampant in such a way that the underprivileged have been left without their help and resources. Maybe this is just what happens when we run schools like businesses and not pieces of the community - just another example of the 99% and 1% forming. [/quote]
