Oh, I totally agree, delbows! And actually, I vote for tax increases to keep the school budget at a reasonable level every time they come up. But that doesn't mean the school system is the right place for my older child.
OTOH, it may be the right place for my younger child.
Options are good. Public school is important. I believe both of these to be true, and I see no contradiction there. But I will never put the good of the school system ahead of the good of my specific kids. That just makes no sense at all. It would be irresponsible of me!
