It is a really, really bad film that takes itself so seriously.

We did the exact same thing.

You’re probably right then. It sounds like the Very Excellent School you’re talking about had a different agenda and goals from mine, too.

I love this place. I’ve been here for years and I intend to be here no matter what happens. This whole thing just makes me ill. I feel legitimately nauseous.

The city I live in has three elementary schools. We’re in a pretty white part of the country, so every school has a very large majority white students. But of the three, the lowest performing school (probably in large part because the poorest neighborhoods go there) is also the most diverse. Most people want to get

I agree with the theory, which is why I enrolled my son in public school. It is actually in a very good neighborhood, but definitely more diverse. After a year of this, I am transferring him to private for 2nd grade. He has kids in his class who have seen Deadpool. He's picking up bad habits and I have to say, this is

My parents ruled out private school because of the expense more or less, so it was public schools for us. For the earlier years (pre-junior high) it was whatever was closest (although I think we lived in a good school district) - it wasn’t a super rich/poor area. I do remember kids getting bussed in from other

My kid went to his zoned local school, which happens to be working-class and as diverse as it gets around here. It also happens to be the smallest and oldest elementary school in the county, and teachers fight to be assigned there. So his public school experience was what a lot of people hope for with a private

This sounds like the smart and right choice. School isn’t just about grades...it’s really where you are given the space to learn how to human without your parents around.

We’re planning to send our kids to public school. We both went to public schools, and obtained terminal degrees in our field. Having parents who understand, appreciate and encourage education is far more important than having a private school.

I think you did the right thing. I could’ve gone to the best public high school in my area, and chose (with parents, of course) to stay at the neighborhood school which was much lower-income. School was kind of a joke, but I got what I needed to go to college. I think that being a white, upper-middle-class person had

“...we wanted our kid to see all kinds of people, not just privileged white kids.”

I have health insurance now. My father (who has a preexisting condition) has health insurance and it likely saved his life last year. My sister will be getting public service student loan forgiveness in a few years, erasing her college debt. My friends in the national guard and the Marine corps haven’t rotated into a

I’m sorry to hear about your friend and her daughter.

Who are these people who believe that an unrepentant child molestor deserves his dignity, his career, his reputation? Were they raised in a vacuum? He deserves nothing. He stole childhoods from tiny innocent people, but his reputation is what matters? I just can't. I have to hope karma is real, because human justice

What. The. Fuck.
