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.

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.

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.

Sounds like we agree.

Yes, as you know, I know.

And if you don't like your taxes now, wait until South Snohomish County becomes North King County, and it will.

On this we agree (and a few other things). I’m already on my 10 years to retirement plan and will be moving to Phoenix in the next year or two. After that Snohomish County can do what they want.

We're going to keep a place here ... there are few places I'd rather be than the PNW in late spring, summer and early to mid fall.

But we are working on the winter palace as we speak. I want to be already gone from this place a month ago this time of year.

I’ll spend July and August here but October - April can get fucked. I’m already tired of the rain, the darkness, and the traffic. Usually we got to Hawaii or a California for mid-winter break and get some much needed sunshine but this year we’re going to London instead. It’s going to be a looooong winter.

Don't be afraid of those who are different from you

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.

Fuck off hondo

Is that the best insult you have?

Hondo does it ever bother you that Coug never reciprocates the ass tonguing you give to him?

Or are you content with playing the role of the board dipshit mascot?
