[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FA is a cruel irony. We pay 75k a year for 2 at a top 3 in order to get escape the poor and their "poor" habits found in the MS, HS publics. Part of the 75k pays for the people you are trying to escape to join you in the privates. The more you try to escape the poor, the more you become intertwined with them- like b'rer rabbit the tar baby. [/quote]

I'd love to know which school your kids attend. We pay $70,000 to try to give our kids the best education we can and to avoid people who would teach them 'poor habits' like your condescension and anything related to the term tar baby, for example. [/quote]

Is it possible that you don't understand the "tar baby" concept and are offended by the term (because you don't understand its usage)?"[/quote]

+1. Surprisingly not everything is about AAs. Tat baby means that when you talk trash it sticks to you instead of them. Or something like that. Similar to would not touch that with a ten foot pole. [/quote]

Tar baby comes from AA folk stories.  Use dead white male references, you are racist.  Use AA folk lore references, you are racist.  Can't win.  [/quote]
