    How much does it cost to educate a Down's Syndrome kid? I know advanced physics and math do cost more. You have to be a clueless moron or a liar to figure out the disparity in a quality private school education program from a public school system. Discipline requirements alone are worth it. Wonder why all the dems in Washington DC send their kids to private school? Because it is just the same? Why would a parent want to send their kid to a public school that can't discipline the kids. A dysfunctional class room is okay as long as they are indoctrinating the kids to vote dem?

    Dude, they send them to the most elite and expensive PREP schools in the country. Sidwell Friends is like $50k a year and your kids would never get through the entrance exam even if you did whore your mom out for the tuition.

    There are as many vouchers there as there are at Lakeside, which is to say, zero.

    Speaking of that, let's zero in on what you're talking about. If you're talking about the run-of-the-mill parochial school, they are mediocre and a good many fall short of even a decent suburban public high school.

    I have lived this life, both as a student and as a parent. If anything, the kids at St. Brendan tend to show up to BHS, WHS and IHS less prepared for the high-end advanced classes that each of those schools offer. IHS, in particular, pulls kids into their IB curriculum who would otherwise be looking at University Prep, Lakeside or Bush. And that's no shit.

    Garfield ... and now Roosevelt are schools that the professional class in Seattle sends their kids to in droves, and those kids go on, in droves, to the tippy top elite colleges in the country. There are also kids at each of the aforementioned schools who are going to trade school, beauty school and the greatest of social program, the military. Girls with stupid parents will get knocked up and not get an abortion, and kids will OD.

    Right about now is when you're supposed to come up with a good T&A pic to remind me why I like you.

    Get over it for fuck's sake...

    I went to shitty public shools in Oakland and S. Sa. Francisco as a mixed race kid. I get the struggle.

    Wife went to rich schools in Bellevue.

    We chose to live in Denver proper for my work, but send the kids to school in Golden...for obvious reasons.

    Fast forward a few years...wife now is working a high-level admin job for impoverished schools and charters in Denver/Aurora area.

    By your logic @PurpleThrobber, we should pull them out of their posh schools and place them in the failing districts in Denver?

    Fuck that.

    You don't limit your children's academic environment to make a point for your "district or school."

    You do it for your kids if you have the means.

    Period. End of story.



    This a perfect example that the number 1 factor in educating a kid and determining their success in life is their parents. I’m sure you agree. Case closed.

    TL:DR version: It’s parents.

    Because I’m pro choice. Parents should have the right to choose. And it shouldn’t be limited by their income or neighborhood. Why is that so terrifying for the left?

    No vouchers for Lakeside but if they want you, you'll be able to afford it. Their financial aid spend is huge. With a 5% acceptance rate for 5th fucking grade.

    Great advice kunt. Take it, and cut loose that little legion of dumb fucks who just echo what you've already read from the playbook because you like hearing it.

    Yes. But they'll only "want you" if you play a sport and / or help them color the place up a bit, because other than Asians it's lily white. Otherwise, they're interested in 'full pay'.

    This plays out at elite colleges almost exactly the same way.

    It helps on the margin to be full pay at all but a small handful of schools, who have so much fucking money they don't have to care about anything.

    Both of my girls did Running Start at BHS, and both are fully prepared for college. We chose our house based on the school district and have held off on moving until my youngest is off to college. The taxes though...
