I only saw your first post, Wren, but think it was relevant, and you framed your commentary reasonably for the forum. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to see the second.

We’re also a private school family, though I will encourage DS to focus on Canadian schools for undergrad. His current school is able to provide a more individualized learning program, to an extent that would not be possible in public alternatives available to us. It’s truly market failure, and it’s hampering students’ futures. It angers me that it is only my privilege that allows DS to access what others like him cannot, through no fault of their own. It’s a contemptible injustice.

If anyone ever wants to get me up on a soapbox, introduce the topic of tenured, unionized teachers and pass me a glass of Shiraz.

Good luck to your DD!
