Let's keep in mind that bad schools are bad because of the people who attend them. Education differs by neighborhood because some neighborhoods contain disproportionate numbers of crappy students. So yeah, people who live in some areas receive better educations than people who live in other areas, but the quality of education is a collective decision of the students themselves, not some top down decision imposed upon them.
If 70% of a school is crappy students and 30% is students who would like to learn, then the 30% are getting the decision forced upon them to be in a crappy school. Zoning has dictated that they attend the crappy school, and they have zero choice in the matter. Seems pretty top down to me. Also, the OP is talking about primary school. It seems like a stretch to say that 6 year olds are competent to make informed collective decisions about their education.
Furthermore, teacher pay can vary dramatically by school district. Who gets the best teachers, on average? The ones that pay the most. That has nothing to do with collective student decisions, but rather individual districts ability to raise more taxes and apply them to educational resources.
Finally, people with means have many options to move to strong districts and pick a school. People who are poor often do not have that option.
So basically under the current system, willing students can be forced to go to crappy schools just based upon where they live, which is often a function of how much money their parents have. So the system is inherently unfair. We are not giving equal opportunity to our future generation, which only hurts us in the long run. Imagine I started a track team that took the fastest runners, and you started a track team that took the fastest runners only from a certain socio-economic demographic. Who would win a head to head track meet?
Hi Derek Murphy!
I can understand how this could make you angry. You should start a blog publicly shaming people who don’t live in a school district but send their children to school in that district anyway.
It’s none of your business, but it’s wrong. You should self identify as the one who fixes this problem.
This is not very much different than rich people paying to get their kids into specific colleges.
So many people with a DYKWIA attitude think that they can just do whatever they want if they can afford to pay for it. That’s not the way the system is supposed to work. If your SIL gets away with this then tell me, when does the duplicity stop?
Get a life and quit worrying about your SIL's.
So, you want to bang the SIL, have realised she's out of your league and the bitterness is eating you up so much that you'd rat her out.
Or maybe you'll implicate her hubby somehow and you'll be there as shoulder to cry on, then WHAM...she'll be wanting your man meat before you know it.
