Protest FOR DA CHILDRENZZZ...
The Seattle com on LJ is usually the bastion of people asking where they can find a Thai place that delivers to Capitol Hill, which area should they move to, and occasionally local news and events. For the most part the wank levels are tepid, with most people going off topic or occasionally snarking some stupid piece of local news, but not really arguing.

Today Kaligrrrl posts to Seattle to promote a protest against closing some Seattle schools.

Listen to Journeyto completely destroy any sort of convincing argument they may have had!

I wonder if she also almost became a sex-therapist and thinks fathers embracing their children is icky?

I worked in the public school system for years, especially in those schools in the inner city of Seattle. Parents expect the teachers to be everything and do everything and could basically, give a shit about coming to school conferences or even helping out in the class room - and most of the families I worked with were on welfare and the moms weren't doing anything but watching TV.


Enjoy the loving insight on the situation provided by Cambler! Because if you can't give your children a private school education, then you have no right to complain!

I don't give a rat's ass.

My kids go to private school, where I get what I pay for.

And yes, I'm tired of my taxes going to pay for other people's kids to go to school. Let 'em help pay for mine, too, without holding a gun to my head and saying, "if you want us to pay for your kids, you have to send them to sub-standard schools that no amount of involvement will help."

"Rat's ass" isn't strong enough, actually. I think fuck 'em is more apropos.

Of course people do bring up good points, but for the most part it's a lot of people giving their thoughts on public education.

To tell the truth, I had to sit on my hands for most of that post, but because I'm a stupid south-end public school Pleebe, I doubt the people proclaiming that public school students deserve an inferior education would listen.
