- "You are a bad person if you send your children to private school," argues Allison Benedikt in an article that appeared on Slate last week. Benedikt makes two points to parents: that going to a diverse public school will provide their kids with an education no less important than what they learn in the classroom, and that rich parents have a moral obligation to suffer the same frustrations with public schools as poor parents, so that they will be motivated to demand that the schools be improved.
-I will do everything in my power to ensure that my kids get the best possible education they can. If that means private school (if we can afford it) then that's what they'll get. If it means public school, then so be it.
Does this make me a bad person?
