There&#x27;s absolutely nothing hypocritical about being concerned with inequality on one hand, and refusing to throw your children to the wolves on the other.<p>I&#x27;m <i>very</i> much disgusted by the difference in opportunity a poor kid has in a bad neighborhood versus a rich kid who get&#x27;s sent to the best private schools. Education should NOT depend on one&#x27;s socioeconomic status. But I don&#x27;t insist that the parent with means should sacrifice their children to shitty schools to somehow &quot;make up for it&quot;.<p>For some reason that totally escapes me, many people in America are opposed to voucher programs and other ways for concerned and involved parents to send their children to any school other than the shitty designated public school. If you live in a certain geographic area, you&#x27;re doomed to whatever school has claimed it. I just don&#x27;t get it.<p>At the end of the day, I will do whatever I can for my children, even if it doesn&#x27;t fit with some social justice framework.
