@Cosmic I would have disagreed with you 15 years ago, but after watching the school district attempt to trans my children, and now seeing that Seattle has completely gutted and killed the gifted program I feel differently. There is also the social aspect. Parents around me were raising their kids to be useless marshmallows and thought I was abusive for having my kids walk short distances on their own to school and the library. Ugh

To me the idea of buying property in a particular area because of "good schools" is a complete indictment of the public school system. Imagine if they ran supermarkets and you had to shop around to find a house in a "good grocery area."

I'd say buy a house in a racist White area and either homeschool or make the school good. It's amazing how much good only a few parents volunteering to run extracurricular classes can do.
@Eiregoat @GelatinousRube @Cosmic In the U.S. there are usually three tranches of education funding: Fed, state, and, most importantly local as that money typically has the fewest strings attached to it and the quality of the residents can determine the quality of the education...usually (well, it's the best indicator we have). Liberal White fanaticism being what it is though, people can find themselves paying through the nose for property taxes in places like Ann Arbor in order to support schools that no right-thinking person would send their kids to.
At this point I gather even catholic schools are pozzed, possibly especially catholic schools.

Over here even the hoity toity protestant schools are pozzed.

I don't understand why more parents don't homeschool. Especially the ones who know what's going on.
@Eiregoat @Cosmic @GelatinousRube I actually never got that as I went to Catholic school for most of my education and I thought it was more pozzed than my public school education. That might be different now since the Jesuits universally won the curriculum debate.
