So you're legally forced to live where you do?

No..but I get what he's saying. There are multitudes of reasons as to why someone is tied to an area. Could be finances, family, medical etc. It's easy to say just pick up and leave....it's much more difficult to do. Not saying it's impossible, or that what you're saying is dead wrong. Just that the decision is more nuanced than just "pick up and go somewhere else".

As with all decisions it comes down to priorities. No wrong decision.

It is our tax dollars that fund these schools so we should have a say in what goes on in them!

 

Would Muslims be in the "our" group?

I'm not a fan of telling particular public schools how to operate. If it ruffles enough feathers locally the people can vote the school board off. My guess is they will still take the days off, just call them something else.

That's why I said if it's that important to you. For some the things you mentioned (family, finances, etc.) are more important than the school systems and there's nothing wrong with that. Doesn't change the fact that it's a choice that you're consciously making.

That's what I was trying to say. If school systems are that important, they take precedent over other things, if not, nothing wrong with that.

Would Muslims be in the "our" group?

 

Yes. But they will be the minority. Majority is supposed to rule in this country. Listen to the majority, quit catering to the minority.

Did you vote for your school board?

 

Just because you vote someone in doesn't mean they are gonna do what you like or listen to you.....

Here's where the whole "I can't send my kids to private school because of X reason" goes sideways:

 

Finances-lots of parents work 2 or more jobs to make it happen, many forego vacations, new cars, even home ownership. It can be done. It's harder than hell, but it can be done.

Location: Some families drive a great distance to take their kids to a private school. Don't believe me? Read any football thread detailing where the students live and getting upset because those students "belong" to X district. Again, it wouldn't be easy, but it can be done.

 

In the end, a family makes the best choices for their family. If the best choice all around is public school, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. If, thought, what's happening in the schools there don't meet your needs, you most certainly look at what options are out there, and be open to the possibilities that your children being in a school that meets your child's needs, or your standards, may mean some really, really tough decisions.

You want me to change careers too?

My wife legally won't let us move

 

But I will move if you come sell my house, provide free daycare, and move my wife's and my family near us and also provide them jobs

Thanks and hope to hear back soon so we can get things rolling

So those things are (and understandably so) more important to you than the schools. You and your wife are making the conscious choice to live where you do. It's not that you couldn't do it, it's that it isn't worth it to you. Nothing at all wrong with that.

Could you move nearer a private school and commute a longer distance?

 

I didn't know bunker building was a career. :D
