(1,663 posts)I attended public schools, some of the best, and I am very proud of it. Yes, I attended and graduated from a top college but that was partly due to a great public education. My child also attended public schools and is now doing graduate research at one of the top universities in the nation. Again that is partly due to attending great public schools.
So your theory about an elitist school is as wrong as the rest of your post. The irony is that the elitist are people who assume people who make right choices only attended elite schools. I happen to believe a public school education is the best. It is one of many decisions I made that many people like you would probably be the first person to look down on.
Many people complaining now are the same ones who didn't give a damn before when they thought they would be living the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Some of us chose to embrace our working class or middle class backgrounds. We lived within our means and didn't think having an MBA or being a Yuppie was our ultimate goal. So I will be damned if someone is going to lecture us because they chose a different path. If i want to spend my money I will because I earned the right.
Welcome to the revolution. It has always been here, how nice of some of you to finally drop by.
