re: OT parents - do you prefer public or private schooling?

That's lie clown. And the rest of the quote said what? I said that there are many variables that make it not an option. Mostly money, access/acceptance, location, etc
But if those variables are removed, no parent would choose public over private.

No one "prefers" public. There are many factors that prevent some from going private. I couldn't care less what anyone says in their reply to your topic, they all would be happy to be private.

I'm really not sure how else to interpret what you said besides anyone that had an option would choose private over public. I know a number of people that could afford any option in the New Orleans area that chose public.

My wife is a nurse at a private school. I find it strange. The teachers are not paid as well as public so many of them are inexperienced.

Used to be the ones who couldn't get certified would land in Private schools. Pendulum has swung back now. Many of the good public school teachers are saying frick the jungle, and taking pay cuts to go teach in private ones.

SO many public school teachers I know send their kids to private schools. That tells me all I need to know.

Sorry your poor

Maybe not in Baton Rouge or NOLA. In West Monroe, everyone goes public.

You mean if you're poor your kids go public. If not you can send them to OCS, St. Freds, or Cedar Creek.

Poor jelly people are usually ones hating on private schools.

I don't hate them. Just no need for them where I live. Great public school system.

Private

WTF does that mean? Clean? Well mannered? Good posture?

What this means is there are private schools here in Memphis where the classes are 95% white. Not all of them but most.

Man, I read your post a couple of times and there is a resentment in there...I'm not sure where it comes from, but you have it. You throw the doctor thing around and talk of your wife's job and your wife's friends...Do you work? Why the complex? Then you throw diversity crap out there and race issues.

---

WTF are you talking about? I was in no way throwing my wife's job around. The fact is there are well educated people in the world, doctors, lawyers blah blah, that choose to send their kids to public schools that are just as good as private schools. What difference does it make if I work? If it's that important to you I am a stay at home dad. Where do you get I have a complex about private schools? The majority of my family has sent or is sending their kids to private schools so I know EXACTLY what the curriculum is at their school. So no it's not obvious to me that private schools are better in my situation. Having three kids in the Optional Program the school they are in is considered to be one of the best in Memphis. It's none of your goddamn business which school it is. But if you truly care they are in the White Station school district. The graduation class at White Station High had close to $35 million in scholarships/grants. So if you can prove to me that MUS, CBHS, ST. Marys, St. Agnus, Hutchison or any other private school here in Memphis had that much money awarded, then fantastic for them. Do you normally get this butt hurt over other peoples opinion?

No buddy, I'm rich. not with money, no, not even close. I'm blessed, and that's plenty enough for me .
